    There’s gunna be some kids from some desperate situations, just trying to make money for their destitute families for any number of reasons.

    The 14 year old, overworked and tired, will be called into the managers office.

    “We’ve noticed you’ve been working really hard. You know, there’s a promotion on offer. Comes with a substantial pay increase, might be able to help out mom and dad.” The manager walks around behind them.

    “We have lots of competition here, though.” The door locks, the child feels hands on their shoulders.

    “We need to see what you’re willing to do to come out ahead.”

    If situations like this happens with adults, it will absolutely happen with children.

    They sink and sink and sink and STILL refuse to vote in their best interests.
    The lazier and angrier, the more ignorant they seem to become, and the easier it is to exploit them for life, they have less value as individuals, work MORE and LONGER for less and less, sliding back to the Middle Ages and they are the stupid, ignorant, disposable peasants.

    If you are an Indiana parent and allow your child to work a job that follows the new rules and doesn’t have the kids best interest in mind then you are a bad parent. Educate your kids about what the job should be offering and you as the parent can restrict their hours.

      This is what happens when families can’t make ends meet. It’s desperation not lack of love that causes this. It’s by design. You’re going to see this more and more as human rights are stripped from the working class

      Sure, but the government taking away abortion rights and forcing these unqualified people to be parents while forcing these kids to work, sure sounds like they’re creating a slave class.

      Indiana parents are gonna accuse you of being a filthy communist if they catch you talking about workers rights like that.

      The CEO needs his workers to be young, cheap, and completely subservient if he wants to buy that brand new fourth backup superyacht.
