I liked working as a teenager, and I worked as much as I could. In a restaurant. That was subject to osha. And the health department. It was fun and hard, but it wasn’t sewing until my fingers bleed after my 10th hour of work at 8 years old. To pretend mowing your neighbors’ lawns is the same as living in a Dickensian hellscape is disingenuous at best. And it’s still beside the point.
