I think at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom in the Avatar ride queue they have some pretty cool examples of this. I always wondered how they did it and now I know.
I don’t know why anyone would disparage anyone taking care of their own kids. The “workforce” sucks and people should be ashamed they’ve been convinced a “career” is something they should aspire to at all costs. Maybe instead of giving people money to pay for child care they should give people money and just let them stay home and enjoy being with their children.
I do not know the reference. Is it that people claim the middle lanes are faster?
But I do know that a lot of people across a lot of topics over estimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Science as a topic isn’t special in this regard.
Jr devs are great examples. Your code is garbage and I am brilliant, just let me change this thing here and OH MY THE SYSTEM IS BROKE PLEASE HELP ME! Intermediate knowledge and negative attitudes.
But you can still pass in the right lane. So a slow driver in the left lane has someone riding their tail and are also getting passed in the right so they can’t even change to the slow lanes anymore. Add in left exits, moving over for vehicles on the shoulder, and speed limits that adjust based on road conditions and you have the perfect storm of it only being enforced in the worst cases.
The US version (varies by state) of the fast lane is garbage which is why nobody follows it. If you want a passing lane then you need a non passing lane and I don’t think US drivers are willing to make that concession.
Well in my opinion the kids who were working in factories were working on the latest tech. It most definitely sucked and was horrible but the experiences would have prepared them for what the US needed.
I think the equivalent today would be forcing kids to do tech work, as we are out of the industrial age and into the Information Age. But tech work isn’t dirty and going to kill you so there is less incentive to force it on marginalized groups.
That’s why I think it was maybe just a perfect storm of circumstances.
From my understanding Japan didn’t have much child labor, and while I think they had less natural resources, their war production was dwarfed by the US war production. The US pivoted so fast I think at one point in a single month they built more aircraft or boats than the entire war for Japan.
I do think that the time period and what the kids were doing were an important part of it. Being at the late stage of the industrial age and early stage of the machine age made them familiar with exactly what the US would need and used to the sacrifices and hard work it would require. I don’t think you could in good faith compare it to modern day meat packing or farm labor though I agree many would like to make them the same.
One thing I often wonder is if the US could have pulled off WW2 without these kids having this experience. They would have been at their prime at the time and would have had the grit and know how to get stuff done that maybe the following or previous generations wouldn’t have. I’m not condoning it in any way, just something I ponder.
Does that include their contractors ? Or the “gig economy” delivery style workers they try to trim all the fat off of? The only thing they lead the way on is new ways to package their poor behavior.
