> There's a reason we had to introduce work regulations so you don't have children working 13 hours shifts in coal mines.

Coincidentally, the regulations appeared when it was no longer profitable to employ children. If you don't believe that, just imagine what jobs kids could do in your workplace. I can't think of any.

Coal mining today is done with industrial machines.
