Just on this page, you dismissed teenagers as having no economic value, then dismissed any business using low skill as not being ethical. Implying that them not having jobs is a good thing I guess since they aren't being exploited. Not really sure wtf you are on about.
You should probably stop talking on the subject haha.
High minimum wages hurt kids. It's undeniable and it hurts unprivileged kids the most. Like my kids won't work for minimum wage. If you are unskilled, you are only worth $15/hour for menial labor. No one is going to waste the time to teach you something worth learning.
I'll have them job shadow me, or one of my friends/colleagues. Call it an internship or some nonsense. It's either your parents or someone who knows your parents. Otherwise you aren't going to get trained. Do that for 6 months and they'll leap frog people that have been stuck in the minimum wage trap for 10 years and you can start climbing the ladder. 6 months of training and you're out of the trap. It's foolish to expect to be paid for the training. And $15/hour? Who the hell would spend the time training kids making that?
Every good job I had until I was 22 was either personal acquaintance or I worked for free to get trained. How the hell else do you even get your foot in the door? Just pray someone takes pity on you and trains you?
