#2This almost feels like a realistic fiction book honestly, but that’s pretty amazing for him. When he said he wishes for leaders in influential positions to change their positions on people, I sort of agree but I more hope that those leaders will look at what this 14 year old has achieved and hold other people to higher standards. Not necessarily to the same standard as him, but just higher relative to what the bar is currently at right now

Child labour isn't just bad because it is potentially dangerous and keeps children out of education, but because it can also sever their connection with their peers.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this will end well for him --- and clearly no one really cares about that.
"Employees" are just disposable cogs in the capitalistic machine --- and this only further illustrates the point.
