Yam...the point is at that time that was acceptable in society so send children up chimneys and industrial factories. But as society evolved...laws evolved to protect children.....but at that time it wa acceptable to do this....It was the same with slavery...at that time....
But small voices spoke even back then against slavery and child abuse..until finally it became more acceptable to have working rights and age limits imposed....this is societal evolution....no government can stand in its way...when people move for change...politicians better beware......
Today the dynamics are slightly different and I think it was Roosevelt warned about the industrial complexes taking control of national policies....he was spot on back then.....Now multinationals/big pharma/big tech have huge policy influence in national governments...

THIS WILL NOT END WELL FOR EVERYBODY....
