The same kind of people who, in Florida, are going to teach kids that slavery "taught black people valuable life skills."
Remember kids, if your arm gets ripped off by a meat grinder, that's not a horrific and totally preventable accident. No, it's a "life skill" you've just learned! "Getting your arm ripped off is painful." If we don't have kids shoving their hands into meat grinders, how are they going to learn these life lessons?
And generally the pay is fuckin' horseshit. Can barely pay rent at those payrates, let alone groceries for your family.
Which is why they want kids to do the work, kids will work for less money.
Which means adults that would be doing that job also get paid less because there's more competition for those spots.
Remove child labor and the rich owners might be slightly less rich. Which republicans vehemently disagree with.
Because kids still live at home, the company is exploiting the family unit to save money employing the child.
