The value of hard work is something we need to teach CEOs https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-in-2021/

I would love to see CEOs work my teenage summer job in my dad's rigging business. In the hot summer, I would load and unload oil and dirt-covered blocking, chains, and jacks and move molding machines in 90F factories with steel rollers and a forklift. You need to stay alert to keep your toes and fingers.

I grew up with adults missing body parts from industrial accidents through "hard work."

When a CEO loses a hand or an eye because of a bad deal, I'll consider they might know what hard work is.

I imagine it's pretty difficult for a teen to find time to spend on their phones when they're spending all of their time raising children of their own and working jobs that don't pay a living wage.

Yea no. They are using 12 year olds in incredibly dangerous manufacturing sectors. Since they don't want to pay higher wages in a competitive labor market, they instead start illegally using under-age labor, and throwing lobbying money at lawmakers so they can move on to legally hire underage kids.

They don't get to go to school. They get to work 9 hour shifts instead. We all know why these laws need to exist, and attempting to role them back is the result of pure greed.
