    Hot take. Child labor can be a good thing.

    The trick is to not exploit them. But a job, a couple hours a day, can build a whole lot of character and life skills. It feels good to accomplish things with tangible benefits.

    I think the problem is that capitalism has no regard for child welfare, hence children in coal mines and meat packing plants. But a few hours after school, once or twice a week, in a job that won’t maim spirit or flesh? Hell ya.

    One of the most rewarding jobs I had as a teenager was a “waiter” at an old folks home. Get them water, condiments, etc. just generally be around and helpful at meal times. Twas a perfect job for a teenager.

  • My buddy lives in a coop here in town, and he was given the job of investigating the odd smell from the chimney. They live in an old school building. He opens up the hatch to find a pile of (mostly) headless pigeons. They all thought they had a phyco serial killer in their midst. It turns out the peregrine falcons were catching the pigeons, eating only the heads, and dropping the bodies down the chimney.
