"teenagers"

It's worth pointing out 2 things here:
first this is not about letting johnny-middle-class have an after school job that might go a bit late, it's about migrant labor, agriculture has long had exceptions to labor laws to let children work in the fields and this is about letting other industries in on that.
second this is prelude to cutting any sort of welfare /medicaid* /child-credits because the children can now be "expected" to work (and drop out of school helping perpetuate the underclass in the process).
*they're already talking about medicaid work requirements https://thehill.com/newsletters/health-care/3959774-gop-pushes-medicaid-work-requirements-in-debt-limit-bill/ https://thehill.com/newsletters/health-care/3959774-gop-push...
