Fuuuuuck this is bleak.
And Republicans and billionaires keep pushing to roll back child labor laws and reduce the minimum working age. Because of course that would allow companies to pay workers less because they’re kids and less experienced, and thus reduce costs while increasing the labor force. Absolutely fucked.
