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.
