Now I’m imagining “The Matrix” style grow tanks lining production lines where fetuses send signals to machines to do work because hiring 5 year olds to too expensive.
And it isn’t incentivizing parents to push their children to work at increasingly younger ages? Even at the expense of school, social life, and development? Especially the poorest families?
You are reinventing the entire problem that created child labour to begin with.
Could you explain the joke maybe? I think you may have forgotten the part that’s supposed to make people laugh. I genuinely don’t see how what you said is supposed to be a joke.
Don’t worry though buddy. I’m sure it’s all in good fun.
I know, but my point is that with it now being legal, poor families will now sell their kids out as young as they possibly can out of desperation to anyone who will pay to earn wages even the adults can’t get, and now you’ve just made child slavery a thing, and growing necessity, as real wages continue to decline
that just gives franchise owners even more incentive to hire even younger children

Or just find ways to replace workers with AI, which would probably be their first choice.

Incentivizing the exploitation of children seems like a wonderful way to kill an obscene amount of children.

I bet you are.
Just ban it and force them to pay adult workers more
