Weird, because UNICEF seems to disagree. But hey, they don’t work in benefits and taxation, so what would they know about child mental and physical health?
Sure, just as ‘top notch’ as suggesting it’s good for children to make bloated plutocrat corporatists richer off the sweat of their backs rather than enjoy their childhoods because “it never hurt me.”
And, by the way, what exactly do you think will happen to young teenage girls tending bar? Do you think they won’t be sexually harassed by drunk older men, possibly raped?
Or did you forget that this was about allowing young girls to serve alcohol to drunk adults?
I don’t care how nice or high-end your bar is, children don’t belong in a bar. And it doesn’t matter how protective the bar is of staff, a place where adults gather to drink alcohol is a completely inappropriate environment for children.
Your argument is really “we did it before, so it’s fine”? We did a ton of things before that aren’t ok. Historical usage of a thing doesn’t make it ok.
Sorry, why should a middle schooler be doing physical labor? This sounds like nightmare capitalism.

Considering it’s bad for adult women working in bars… https://www.cosmopolitan.com/career/a15334055/female-bartenders-sexually-harassed-at-work/

A 16yro with a job vs a 14 yro with a job is a HUGE difference. Those 2 years are massive in development. 14 yro’s should not have a real job yet
Sure, if you ignore all of human history it sounds like nightmare capitalism.

No. Children working existed before capitalism, you’re grasping straws coming up with that conclusion of what I said.
You mean all of human history when we had things like slavery and women as property? Yeah, we should keep doing that stuff too, right?
No, you’re making up things to be angry at. Children working existed before capitalism.
