I get what you’re saying but it is unrealistic in this society. Many industries opt to replace their workers with automated systems. Perhaps this same level of greed has been redirected into newer unregulated ways.
Child labor is used all around the world still. Just have to loosen laws a bit and make people poor enough to accept low wages, then it will be (more) of a thing in the US too. Below-living wage is cheaper than automating for many tasks; doesn’t require the rich to risk as much capital either.
Are they automating their jobs away to let the rest of humanity live lives of joyous leisure, or will those non-owners who no longer provide utility to the owners just be starved to death?

You do realize several plants in the US have already been caught using child labor, right?
Now its time to compare several to the national total. You did say the US right?
Here you go!

Dang. You’ve gone from ‘that never happens’ (even though it does) to ‘child labor is hilarious’. You just keep on digging, don’t you?
