…solves the low-wage problem by hiring kids who don’t know better.

Then we'll just have to organise and unionise the kids too!

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 66 points 4 months ago

Or better yet, we should enact laws that protect children from the workforce. Maybe we can call them "child labor laws"

A preposterous idea! - conservatives, apparently.

Ah yes. The famous quote from Jesus when he said, "thou shalt exploit thy workers for maximum profit without regard for the worker's well-being." in Rand 420:69

Or when Jesus said, "Thou must love thyself above thy neighbor." in Freedman 6:66

Freedom is where you can send your kids to the mines.

Be great if the kids learned to unionize early

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It used to be a funny joke about sending them to the spice mines on Kessel.. now I miss them sometimes

I spilled child labor on our kid—now he's gone 🤪

Kids being able to form their own unions in schools have never been a bad idea - but for some reason nobody on the left has ever spoken about this (as far as I can tell.)

And they're at work instead of school so they don't learn better.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

It's on the weekends, they wouldn't go to school anyway

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

Nor will they taste the freedom of being a child.

Just as what the overlord intended.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure nobody is forcing them to go to work

Well we all know the undereducated love voting republicunt against their own best interests
