The socialists seem to be doing everything they could think of to weaken and disrupt the nurturing and strengthening of the new generation.
Make the schools a total joke, make discipline in the workplace an impossibility, have plenty of drugs available, have hours and hours of toxic gaming and sociopathic music available, break up families and encourage gay parenting, transsexualization, and above all, keep them away from any formal religious training or worship.
Keep them busy with trivial matters from waking up to going to sleep, so they never have a minute to meditate and size up what is being done to them.
Just the shotgun approach of the communists as they erode and subvert our nation.
The people who stand to benefit most are teenagers themselves, who by having a job can learn to show up on time, follow instructions, work collaboratively, and manage money that they earned themselves and therefore value more.

Bingo. The kind of dirty, dangerous, health-impairing jobs that rightly resulted in child labor laws no longer exist. A lot of kids would get structure and discipline in their lives that they might be missing at home or in school. That would make them better adults, which would be good for them and society.
I am not sure you realize that this is leading to kids working in packing plants.
When I was a teen-—an A & W opened up in our small town.
THE ENTIRE FAMILY OF 6 or 7 worked there...and they knew almost all of their customers.
1st job - aged 13 - Greek Restaurant - $1.50 an hour under the table - usually about 20 hours a week.
Loved the $30.00 every Friday.
I was Rich!!
Kids should be REQUIRED to work and earn money as part of any compulsory education. Without learning the value of work, education is pointless.
To me at the time, danger was jumping off an overpass bridge into the river below, ramp-jumping on my Huffy bike, or swimming out into the ocean well over my head. All things I did multiple tmies.
I also delivered newspapers at 5 in the morning through darkened neighborhoods.
