Make Children Work Again

One of the policy prescriptions of Project 2025, the conservative playbook for a second Trump Administration (shudder), is to repeal Child Labor and Safety laws.
Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs. Current rules forbid many young people, even if their family is running the business, from working in such jobs. This results in worker shortages in dangerous fields and often discourages otherwise interested young workers from trying the more dangerous job. With parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations. This would give a green light to training programs and build skills in teenagers who may want to work in these fields.
Because nothing says moving forward into the 21st century like reviving 19th century labor practices and putting children back into dangerous occupations!

These people are psychotic. Vote them all out on November 5th.

I'd say this is surprising, but in every possible moral choice, conservatives have consistently picked wrong.
