Simple, then don't let your imaginary kids do it.
It's not like these kids are being dragged from their homes and forced to work like you and the OP want to pretend. Jfc.

The ones who need jobs are likely going to be forced to work nights. If a kid gets a job at McDonalds I have zero confidence a manager won't schedule them nights whenever needed. Why give the manager this option? Why should kids work nights and go to school the next day unable to learn?
Well, if the kid doesn't want to work nights he can get another job, there's plenty available.
Again, this isn't forced.
What's the real reason this irks you so much? Bc its Florida/DeSantis? Do you think it's someway taking jobs away from others who are more deserving or in need? Get to the point of your stupid outrage already.
Yes. It is.
If you were correct, there could be no poverty (in fact, no way to distinguish rich and poor, as anyone could have as much of anything as they wanted), as the economic definition of scarcity is insufficient supply to meet demand at a price of zero.
Yet a quick glance at the store shelf will tell you that prices aren’t zero, and we don’t have as much of what we want as we’d like, and we’re forced to choose. They have prices in Timbuktu too, that’s why traders would go there. They didn’t bring gold to trade for salt because they had enough salt, the concept of scarcity is real.
Great mentality. Don't like working nights, don't work fast food, Walmart, or one of the industries that actually employs kids. Again, why make it harder on them? It's almost spiteful.
That's why we should send Billions to Ukraine and Israel so we can help these people here at home.
I have had several high school seniors working 3rd shift to help pay their parents bills. There are high school kids working because they have to.
I've got it.
If the Ju/'hoansi didn't know scarcity, why did they have to keep asking Lee for tobacco?
From that article:
The St. Pete Beach Republican portrayed it as an effort to boost teens’ long-term well-being, citing research that shows kids in states with looser child labor laws have better graduation rates. That includes even blue states such as Illinois, New Jersey and others.
Kids want to work, she said, noting that teen workforce participation has dropped precipitously since Florida adopted its current guidelines in the 1930s.
So, her reasoning is that kids in New Jersey have higher graduation rates because they have looser child labor laws?
Clearly, this woman possesses a fiercely logical mind.
Before I read the article, I assumed the motivation was agriculture-related, and only for very occasional seasonal tasks or weather-related emergencies (i.e., hard freezes).
I still suspect that’s what’s driving this, but the legislator is trying to frame it as somehow good for “graduation rates” and doesn’t care that her explanation sounds ridiculous because she knows the Florida stage legislator is disproportionately run by Good-Ole-Boys who do what they like.
You didn't answer my question.

The issue isn't creating wealth, its distribution of wealth. As long as 97% of the wealth is in the hands of 1% of the people we will continue to see instability in our governing systems. Every time this has happened throughout history it generally hasn't ended well for the 1%. This group seems to think they have it under control though.
