And here is another —where I live in the USA we have MANY Asian food restaurants. Not always but often a feature in the restaurant is the presence of the young kids of the workers or owners:

Quite often the kids perform tiny task in the eatery —returning change to a customer, or bringing silverware.

It seems not so much labor as TEACHING —the working parents are teaching their charges about a WORKING ROLE, and something about commerce. They’re teaching about the role between action and consequence, solicitation and payment, very key lessons in life.

And you know what? Almost all customers see this and warmly APPROVE.

Hey, why is it that it’s always HONKY KIDS that get the cops called on their cute Lemonade stand..?

It’s like there’s this huge double-standard —budding non-white tiny entrepreneur is endearing and welcome, but if the uppity tyke is pigment challenged, well then the squad cards, clip-boards and hard questions start buzzing around nattering on about licences and regulations, giving them the passive-aggressive Nurse Wratchet treatment:

— >STOP BUSTING LEMONADE STANDS. <—

The kids are rotten, yup, but you know what?

The system they’re thrown into right now is really rotten, also.

Another part of the problem is the replacement of the father in the home with a government check.

Like carrot and stick, the mother is the loving indulgent role, and the father tends to be the one who finally steps in and imposes discipline, if it’s needed:

That is exactly how the workplace is —a place that requires discipline, not indulgence. And very many kids aren’t getting a good dose of the fatherly discipline, although they are getting medicated pretty often, as the mass-shootings show.

Not only are all traditional “teen jobs” getting vacuumed up by illegal aliens, but also the kids are getting heavy exposure to crypto-collectivist REGULATIONS and procedure.

Regulations, i.e., the things you cannot do, are not really the go-gas of commerce, in fact, they are BRAKES on business.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A WAR ON TEENS.

(which means a war on the learning of healthy work habits)
