I guess that we shall have to agree to disagree.
Kids should have nothing to do with the corporate world until they are old enough to deal with it rationally. Whatever the rationale is for doing so, fast food joints want to materially exploit people and having kids as young as 5 play as burger slingers is beyond creepy. Feel free to have alternative views about it.

Perhaps just let kids play and forget all about training to be “future workers”.
Is this what we’ve become? Jesus!

With respect, and I mean it. There is a world of difference between a kid brushing a horse and a training camp for a fast food joint. I mean, really?

Want to bond with your kid, take them to the park, not some corporate hellscape.

That’s an artefact of the “now”.
In Australia we once had the imperial system and about a year after the big switch (14 Feb 1966) we became all metric like a mofo. Now 35c feels hot and 15c feels cold. Plus units of ten is so much easier than factions.
Ask the US military about the metric system, they’ve been using it since at least Vietnam, if not earlier.

To me, making political appointments for the judiciary always made this a possibility. It happened in the old days, and it might happen again. And it did.
