Beginning on August 1, children in Arkansas under the age of 16 will no longer need employment certificates to work, thanks to a law passed in the last legislative session.

It must be nice to see children as an exploitable resource. And in classic conservative posturing you equate child labour with refereeing soccer games at age 14. Must be nice to look back and have such pleasant memories. I doubt these kids will be so wistful about industrialised farming, chicken preparation or other sweatshop jobs. I’m pretty certain you don’t even see these kids.
At 14 you had the support of your parents and a safety net of laws that made it so their oversight was baked into your employment. Lots of kids are poor and have families who can’t offer the sort of support and financial security you enjoyed.

Ah the classic “fuck you, got mine”.
Not at all. It’s the exact opposite.
I want other kids to be able to have similar experiences with working and earning money.
Experiences like this?

Are you open to changing your view on aspects of this and discussing this topic with nuance?
You proferred the opinion so you need to clarify. I don’t need to be open to what you consider nuance.
Thank you for your acknowledgement that you’re unwilling to look at this situation with the level of nuance required.
That isn’t what I said and you know it. If you feel misunderstood the onus is solely on you to clarify any misunderstanding. Pretending that you’re making this about me isn’t going to change your bad take or initial downvotes.
