      Then we’ll just have to organise and unionise the kids too!

        Or better yet, we should enact laws that protect children from the workforce. Maybe we can call them “child labor laws”

              Ah yes. The famous quote from Jesus when he said, “thou shalt exploit thy workers for maximum profit without regard for the worker’s well-being.” in Rand 420:69

              Or when Jesus said, “Thou must love thyself above thy neighbor.” in Freedman 6:66

              Freedom is where you can send your kids to the mines.

          It used to be a funny joke about sending them to the spice mines on Kessel… now I miss them sometimes

        Kids being able to form their own unions in schools have never been a bad idea - but for some reason nobody on the left has ever spoken about this (as far as I can tell.)

      …solves the low-wage problem by hiring kids who don’t know better.

      And they’re at work instead of school so they don’t learn better.

          Nor will they taste the freedom of being a child.

          Just as what the overlord intended.
