you cant ignore reals with feels sorry
Science stands against your Marxist assertion
Thanks heavens, you did not say 25 hours a day
the Cotton Mills Act, which a nascent form of regulation cut the allowed hours for those aged 9-16 to 16 hours a day
literally nothing you say is right
you just deny history when it suits you
That is work hours. Do you understand difference between work hours, and actual hours worked?
Hours a day
Kids would often work 12 hour night shifts
In glass making kids could typically work from 5 pm to 3 am
You have nothing to base anything you said off of except "science"
So, that is a 10 hour schedule.
And you said 20 hours
Ok
It wasn't all the same occupation and the glass making example was after further legislation
You cannot get your facts straight, lol.
Children worked 12-15 hours before legislation
The fact that the cotton mills act restricted those child laborers to 16 hours a day shows that it was higher
They were paid a decent wage.
They were not paid a decent wage
The families were impoverished and they all worked closer to 80 hours a week
Which is a lot for such an unskilled work
That's next to nothing per month for expenses to live above poverty
If you are eight, it is a lot.
The money wasn't for the child it was for the family stupid
We just went over the macroeconomic reasoning
The demand side of child labor is for the seeking of a low paying informal economy
Kids died and had health issues by 20 with the things they did
The poor had no immense benefit
Are you idiot? Children got around $2000 annually (in today's wages). It was extra of what their parents earned.
Your Marxist theories don't disprove facts
Except that the average salary of a man was 2350 and the children barely got 10% of that
Making it $235 annually for children
Very comparable to the 20¢ a day that child laborers get today
Ive yet to say anything Marxist which means it's about that time you again where you've exhausted all your dumb shit you say
I have to go though so toodles
Ok, Commie. Take your tears anywhere else😎
> _Literally crying why children were paid less than adults_
The hottest take
"In today's money, they'd be earning $2000 annually"
should children be paid less than adults? I mean, I guess
but it depends on how wide the gap is
