Regarding the recent child labor crisis.
Thoughts?
Sucks that our current politicians want to move us backwards instead of progressive us forward like 6 hour 4 day work week… In the 50’s society was moving towards a world were in the 2000’s we wouldn’t have to work.
But thanks to selfish baby boomers, and Regan economics, and capitalism we are instead moving back to the 19th century were only rich children are allowed an education and poor people work themselves to death for nothing in return.
If this keeps up you will see them bringing back full on slavery (not just prisoners) and won’t be race be all poor people just flat out work to eat or die. No pay max profit for corporations
They are already doing what they can with AI to kill off as many jobs as possible. What happens when they can replace us all?
That is the end game only way for capitalism to continue moving forward. It will also be the death of it. But until that wonderful day millions will suffer and die.
Unless we do something to change it.
