We had the illusion that the grasp of future is within our reach, just to find out how easily beguiled we have been.

"Expenditure of physical/mental effort".
Categorically selling lemonade falls into that, therefore a labor.
Thus a child selling lemonade is a child labor.

1. The idea of labor doesn't carry an implication of resposibility.
2. Labor by itself bears no coercive nature nor tax burden.
3. No one dies from doing an unprofitable labor.

Legally speaking no, but I thought this is a discussion about philosophy.

"An expenditure of physical/mental effort" is the definition of labor, and selling lemonade absolutely fulfills that regardless of the status of employment.

Thus, a child selling lemonade is child labor in that sense.

I am arguing on the basis that the use of this semantic notion has been misused and you displaying this and how the law is written is the perfect example.

There's no bs to be fallen for and I am not arguing about the law.

@Cuddly49905741 @philosophymeme0 It's a workers' rights issue, not an age issue.

There really is a huge misconception assuming all child labor is the Victorian era type ones in which kids go into the mines and do the heavylifting.
Kids selling homemade lemonade by their home is also child labor by definition, but nobody in their right mind would get their parents arrested for that.
Because it's a vital part of teaching kids how economy works.

@philosophymeme0 Not exactly phil., and a person on the bottom right would say yes, that's also a natural part of a free market economy and a manifest of the inevitably egoistic nature of mankind.

@hawniepy @Hazeludw All classical languages tend to be like that. So is Latin and Greek. It's precision over ease of use.

@JNnotes @finn_hulse Once someone reaches that stage, everything about life is just statistics - calculated, analyzed, rationally decided - who to marry, who to ditch, how things should be structured, what could be achieved and what likely couldn't.
It's certainly boring in some sense.

@hawniepy @Hazeludw Understandable for having second thoughts. That's why I said not realistically. The golden age of the ganges river valley is long gone.

@RighttoTryGuy @ChizuCheese8 Nowadays it's about how to keep absolutely minimal amount of people within those supply chains whilst still making it operational.
That's the only shot u got for making the price competitive against the aggressive merchandise-dumping prices from certain outsourced-to countries.

It's not about ideology, but all about methodology.

Turns out no one's gonna earn a dime if you completely close off your border and force people to work to death in exchange for sustenance except the ones who get to control all these things at their will.

Think as if it's a big private corp with no competitors nor union and controls all the available resources, while the clients are the shareholders themselves.

Quitting work would no longer be an option.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

@miraisagi ppl's eyes focus on proportions rather than height when it comes to portraits. By them saying that it means you got ones so good that height is nothing to be concerned about.

@Jubilanthyunh @schitzree @america Convincing statistics but doesn't apply in the case he mentioned. If someone's negligent enough to rear-end stopped traffic in front of him with a bus language ain't gonna help.
