No Time for Fridays for Future
Children, how time flies. Before you know it, the rascals are all grown up. Society can thus further exploit the previously enslaved kids. The younger the little ones are upon entering the workforce; the longer one can profit from their labor.
The industry has set up an aid program to help kids get a head start on full-time employment. Free baby rattles with work motives provide incentives. Many places offer delighted toddlers pickaxes, shovels, and colorful rubbish mountains that double as sorting exercises.
Child Slaves
Locked up, 14-hour workdays, well below minimum wages, no healthcare, no social security, no perspective. If you're lucky, you don't get burned alive at work.
Child Prostitution
Poorly paid child labor is not the end of it. An escalation is still possible. The misery and emotional suffering of which one cannot begin to imagine.
Child Soldiers
Many regions don't even have any schools in front of which to demonstrate on Fridays. A warlord wouldn't be willing to put his army of child soldiers on hold this weekday either. The war must go on!
