Look at these happy children spending way more time playing with the Earth than what that dastardly Tim Walz would have them be doing. Learning? Yuck.

Minecraft has been popular with kids for over a decade. The children yearn for the mines.

Moria...You fear to go into those mines. The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum...shadow and flame.

Democrats just want a weak economy and weak career growth for their kids. If child miners were offered tax deferred retirement savings accounts, which they won't be, and if they could afford to defer which of course they can't, just think of the potential gains they could have over 3-4 decades until they collapse of pneumoniultramicroscopicsilicovolcanconeosis!?! They of course won't live in a society that allows retirement so it's just a mental exercise but man, fun to think about hypothetical gains for child laborers!

The context here is that they are a bunch of the actors in the film Newsies, they are taking a short break before launching into another impromptu musical number.

That would be really nice if it was. Sadly this was in 1911 in Pennsylvania. These are "Breaker Boys". Their job is to take the the mined rock and separate coal from chunks of rock. source

I was joking. I figured it was some coal mine job

I know you were, and it was a good joke :)
