It's even for the same reason too. Children are easy to manipulate, and easier to exploit. They can be paid less, for longer time, and with less shits given for their wellbeing. Because, by nature, child labor is exploitative and inefficient.
Nowadays, it's being used as a bludgeon to prevent wages from increasing naturally, and even to reduce it artificially.
I love how they want us to constantly buy and consume yet despise the idea of paying us money to actually be able to do so...
They would love to pay you company money to make sure you can only buy at the company store. Keep that money in their pockets going round and round.
First child labor, next the company store, then Pinkerton 2.0
No take! Only give!
