Dodged the bullet by being born in the 80s. We played Atari and Nintendo after school, then bicycle patrol around neighborhood

I was born in the 80s. I had a paper route at 13 so I could buy an OG PlayStation. Definitely not crazy shift work, but I wonder how a 13 year old could find employment for some spending money these days.

Kids shouldn’t have to be earning money. We are more than a cog in some capitalist’s machine. Productivity has massively increased and instead of demanding the gains of that increase we bemoan the loss of “opportunities”.

I’m not against letting teenagers work as long as there are protections. Removing guaranteed meals and overnight work? Nah.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
All workers should have a guaranteed meal break on any shift that takes up 6 hours or more of their day, commute included. The economy is supposed to work for us, not exploit us.
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 year ago
If they’re removing these protections for teens what are they doing to the rights of adult employees?
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Florida infamously removed water break regulations. In a state the military regularly suspends training due to the heat index. I’m starting to get the idea that these aren’t good people.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 year ago
Employees in Florida (and most states, like ~40 states) have no laws that require breaks. Many states do/did require that minors get them though

Some people think that education might be important for the jobs of the future. Qualifying for university is an option on such a future.
Other people think fuck the future, we need more people taking a career path that starts as a dishwasher right now.
Very few of these other people will question “what was wrong with the dishwasher we had?”

They are probably already jacking off to such ideas in the GOP.
Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 year ago
I keep saying this is all a front to reduce age of consent. Once you establish teens are as capable as adult it goes down hill. Plus they cant vote.

No no, you don’t understand, the free market sets wages! If the boss can’t find workers at the rate they set then they have to
raise wages…hire children!!🤮

Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.
GroundedGator@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It might rein him in on tariffs and attempted land theft but it is unlikely to continue past that. Though I do believe that the boycott of American made may be longer lasting than those threats and as an American I actually appreciate those boycotts. Those in power need to understand what isolationism actually means.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Seconded. Do not buy our products. Build your militaries, sad to say. Save your holidays for better nations.

Why the hell would you want children working overnight on school nights?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
It’ll cause them to drop out and become permanent cheap labor that can be exploited due to not having a highschool diploma.
Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haven’t you heard? The DOE is dead. No more pesky school to get in the way of these children’s productive hours! Ah, utopia at last.
emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
These kids already have jobs, they dont even need school. The ones with rich parents will still learn how to fuck everyone else over in their private schools, dont worry.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Imagine the kids get smart and start thinking on their own as adults. They would no longer vote Rep. Imagine that!

Not just children. Anyone who isn’t rich, white, cis, straight, and Christian. If you’re not rich, then you must be a piece of shit, and you deserve nothing, not even the most basic human dignity.
athairmor@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.
orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Also they don’t get taught critical thinking skills to understand why things are the way they are and easier to manipulate. That said my understanding of the general US education system is that it doesn’t teach that (or much of it) anyways.
mrbeano@lemm.ee 1 year ago
And a fantastic, “ask no questions” kind of military force
singletona@lemmy.world 1 year ago
An Uneducated Labor Force also ensure those laborers can’t compete for better positions, or demand better conditions.
BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That guaranteed meal break should be extended, not rolled back. After 4 hours every worker should have a 30 minute break to eat. It’s not just humane, it’s common sense that fed people work better. Even if you exclude the 30 minutes from their hours, which I bet was already what was going on.

So they gonna get the right to vote? Cause if they are going to be treated as adult they should get vote.
Let’s also decrease liquor and smokes to 8 while we are at it.
Also remove child support cause they are grown up to get their own jobs and health insurance.
