The kid is a high school dropout. What’s he going to do with no education and just one hand? How is he supposed to make a living?

How is the type of accident even possible in 2023? We’ve had a century to evolve industrial safety.

Lastly, that judge is an asshole. “2 months later and we wouldn’t even be here” … irrelevant. We had to draw the line somewhere. That line is there to protect the vulnerable.

And that nonsense about dangerous machinery just part of growing up? Not in a long, long time. We used to have a lot more kids back then too, because we expected we’d lose some to disease or injury.

We evolved.

I mean, the judge hasn’t, but the world has.
