Side note: I like how children cleaning chimneys in the 1900s is always the poster child for anti-child labor proponents. Like, yeah, this is pure fucking propaganda and there's countless other jobs where they don't get dirty and learn valuable life skills.
Do you think it should be illegal for children to clean chimneys? If so, does the Libertarian Party agree with you on this?
I'm for prohibiting dangerous jobs or jobs where health issues could arise.
Aside from that, I'm not for forced child labor, which is probably why there were chimney cleaning kids in the first place (or, at least, I can't imagine a kid wanting to do that kind of work).
I have no clue. I'm not a libertarian nor do I follow their views closely enough.
Meanwhile, back in 1905, the child cleaning the chimney is like "thank god I'm not the one operating the heavy machines in the factory, Timmy already lost 5 fingers".
