I was working summer jobs doing farm labour since before I was a teenager (and I'm not that old), so I'm gonna say that it's fine that 13 year olds are working.

Kids already worked in the mines when they were 5 or 6. We should regress to these great time so that the GDP can continue to grow, and shitty employers can continue to pay poverty wages.

I mean, Minecraft is one of the most popular games in the world... Maybe the kids are trying to tell us something

Yeah, they like to play games, not work at Tim Hortons.
