“Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies”

"Duvan Tomas Perez, killed working in a poultry plant.

Michael Schuls, killed working at a logging company.

Will Hampton, killed working at a landfill.

This is why child labor laws exist. Companies can’t be allowed to turn to kids when adults refuse to work for poverty wages."

    They should allow children to work to get money, if that is the only way to get money. Of course, it would be preferable that no one has to work to survive. Or do you think the government should provide free money only to children?

      Some people would argue for UBI for everyone, not just children.

      But at least in my experience, children get money as an allowance from their parents, which I suppose is somewhat like UBI.

      In any case, children should not need money of their own to survive. Their needs should be provided for by the parents.
