cause according to [this article](https://www.historycrunch.com/child-labor-in-the-industrial-revolution.html#/) children as young as 4 years old used to be employed, but that just seems incredibly counter productive. most 4 year olds i know cant even tie their shoes. cause once a child can function without supervision without dying (so 9-12) i can see why from their fucked point of view they would use child labor, but i feel like the resources needed to train and keep the children alive would far outweigh the reward for basically free labor

Probably going to gag a little while doing this
You thinking about it all wrong.
Those aren’t kids, those are small area simple task completers.
You don’t even have to worry about the clumsy or the stupid ones. The machines will take care of those for you, you don’t even have to pay their families so that’s like free labor for a few hours.
What are they going to do quit or complain? You’ve got a line of hungry little task completers out the door that will do damn near anything for a loaf of bread that they can take home to their family.
It’s only counterproductive if you count the harm to them and their deaths as a cost.
Well I pulled a devil’s advocate on this one and now I need a shower
