He truly lived the life of an American:

He worked in a local grain elevator. At some point, he injured his hands there. It stripped his hands, and the doctors told him they would have to cut off his fingers. He told them, ‘I’ll die before you cut off my fingers.’ His hands got better, although they were scarred and a little messed up.

But he did go to college, build a house, and feed a family, all with a single manual laborer's income.

The problem is voters who imagine they’ll be the wealthy landowners and not working in the fields.

And in about 15 years, Harry's family will be forced to move to California when the soil they're working is dried up and carried off in big black clouds by the wind.

Child farm labor is not unique to capitalism

I mean, obviously. They had no other choice after the woke mob and their "slavery is bad, mkay" destroyed the entire workforce market!!!

(/s, just in case)

A capitalist will look at this and think "What work ethic! He's setting a precedent for other kids his age."

A sane person will look at this and think "we must not let something like this happen again."

The children.... they crave the mines.

Anyone picked cotton? If not, you have no idea what you would be getting into.

See that cute, fluffy little cotton boll? See the brown, dried out petals? That are hard as iron and Ginsu sharp. First time picking, had one slide under my finger like a hypodermic needle. Even treated, it was infected for almost 3 weeks and I couldn't bend it.

Now go fast! And don't wuss out and just get the tops, you gotta dig in there and get it all. At least a kid doesn't have to bend over double. 🤷🏻

“He talked about helping his father in the fields. He was pulled out of school at about the eighth grade and forced to work in the fields. That was the name of the game. His father needed him to do that, so he did. However, I want you to know that he went back at a later time and finished high school.” –Lynda Baxter, daughter of Harold Walker
