Kids will be losing hands, feet, legs, arms, life in large machines.
Didn't realize they wanted to go all the way back to the 1800's workhouses.
ETA: children already work the farms, btw. The child labor laws do not extend to children on farms. This means that lots of immigrant children already work long hot hours in fields picking, often living in subhumane housing provided by the farm. https://www.hrw.org/news/2011/11/17/child-farmworkers-united-states-worst-form-child-labor

@samueltyler2 Yeah but in so many ways, we have stagnated or become worse with the degradation of unions. Farm labor has always been abysmal and even with all the new tech, the fact remains, it is still physically grueling and demanding work, as are many factory and blue collar jobs.
@FoxyQueen The destruction of the US Union system lays at the feet of Ronald Reagan when he declared war on unions when he fired the air traffic controllers. The unions also became more involved in raising their salaries, not that it was wrong, but neglected the safety component!
@samueltyler2 A union can focus on numerous things, like working conditions. The failure to have the union work on that along with other needs are solely up to the members to have not made important. A union can only work on what things they have been asked to work on.
