OP literally said:
> The issue is when this starts being less of a learning experience and more of an actual full time job. Sending 12 year olds out to earn a living clearly isn’t right.
You are straw manning. Nobody here wants kids working full time.
- dbspin 3y agoLots of people in the comments are wilfully eliding the distinction between their fond memories of working for a few hours to save for candy and videogames, and the child exploitation being described in the article.
- dahfizz 3y agoYou're being uncharitable. In response to a comment saying that all 12 year olds should be banned from working: > This is child labour. It's indefensible. People are pointing out that working at that age can be safe and beneficial. Nobody is claiming that kids should work full time, and people don't feel the need to add that disclaimer because its not a reasonable position they would need to defend against. > I enjoyed milk as a kid > Oh, so you think people should be forced to drink milk? You want every other beverage banned? You are willfully eliding important clarifications.

Did you mean to reply in a different thread? I didn't take hahamrfunnyguy's comment in the way you seem to be taking it, but I'd be happy to learn that they don't support full-time labor for 12 year olds.
