I'm sorry, but I think you absolutely have to give reasons to create a subclass. People do not need to explain why they should be treated the same.



How is paying a teenager to sweep a floor making a subclass? Seems like we're on a trajectory to replace that teenager with a vacuum drone, and I don't see as many teenagers employed in that world.

The wealthy wouldn't notice. Their teenagers are entrepreneuring and racking up unpaid volunteer hours to pad resumes. The teenagers with jobs are the ones that could use the money.


It's pretty asinine to pretend these entry level jobs teach anyone anything. Let it be automated.

The kids that are hard-working and poor will find something else to do. You don't have a right to exploit kids.
