Hey Kingfish. Child labor deregulation is a historical dicey Libertarian platform. In the past and now the Libertarian concept of personal freedoms and commerce are rooted in micro-economics. But taking small scale economics and applying them to macro economics causes a misunderstanding of what the purpose of a sovereign governments capabilities are. And the relationship of government and private enterprise. It's platform on child labor has been along the lines of a child being in the care of parents should not have to be compelled by govt. interference to the potential of keeping a family financially solvent when the markets can't provide enough income through adult participation alone. Like a 3rd world economy for example.
But in a developed society like ours. When we have been economically buffeted by upheaval in the market place by nature and chronic recession, stagnant wages, high cost of living now being made higher through inflation from turmoil in our supply side economics. Should the same rationalization be applied? Is this a slippery slope? It seems a society that has such a disparity between the top tier and the working class living standards. That degrading a law that at it's basic end is to keep young people unburdened from the trials and tribulations of making a living. Is a cop out for not making the market place more fair and equitable to begin with.
We can and should do better. For decency sake. Including denying Tik/Tok, Facebook and all the others using the public private data as a means to make some money off of us unwittingly. Which is very creepy.
