Wasn't this also the argument for child labor? "Small children can fit into tight spaces easier, lets use them to unjam dangerous machinery"

But the children yearn for the mines!

It's all about the roboblox these days. The kids yearn for robots.

The right watched snow piercer and needed therapy after see all the horrible things that the back of the train did to their betters.

Yes. For example I know in textiles especially, they were small enough to run under & between machines to get things without the factory having to them off. (Surprise surprise, guess how kids got maimed and/or killed...)

China use child labor, so……

Does it? They're a middle-upper income country now, and child labor tends to be an issue at much lower levels of development. Anyway, for the Chinese electronics sector, you're vastly more likely to see humanoid robots than children.
