A single income used to be required to be able to support an entire family. When women started to permanently have careers, employers took advantage of this and made it so that dual income families were the new standard.
Now that they are trying to normalize children in the workforce, what do you suppose is going to happen in the future?
The next logical step is requiring an entire family unit being employed and pooling their resources in order to achieve a baseline of comfortable living.
Generational poverty without escape because little Timmy and Tina have no choice but to drop out of school in order to help out with rent and groceries.
This is nothing new to anyone who has experienced the ghetto. It is what is known as “The Trap”. Kids having to sell drugs in order to support the younger siblings. Throwing away their future, risking prison and felonies on their records ensuring they will forever be stuck with minimum wage shit jobs.
We are all being trapped by capitalism.
