This is gonna play out the same way women entering the workforce did. It'll depress wages and the end result will be that a lot of families will need to send their kids off to work as soon as they're old enough just to make ends meet.

I'm fine with kids working, in the context of apprenticeships and other places where they're subject to gentler conditions and reduced workload with an emphasis on skill building. Learn to frame, plumb or wire? Sure. Pouring drinks, cleaning/yardwork/etc, no.
