Jobs are good for kids. What we need is a none government employment agency for kids.

When "they" say @marwilliamson is not serious - ask yourself why - when she advocates for a Dept. of Children & Youth to bolster the rights of children - who are unaccounted for in a "short term profits" focused system of economic injustice.

Why if kids can make the decision to cut off body parts and cut out organs they should be old enough to go to work?
Replying to @marwilliamson
It has to be made explicit that these laws were created and will undoubtedly be used unequivocally to target and exploit migrant children or children from insecure households. You can’t find a group of people more vulnerable than them.
