I can't imagine a 5 year old being competent at any job, let alone shrimping. What did they even do? Drop shrimp and throw tantrums?

Get beat when they dont do their job right, which is often. Theres a reason teenagers back then looked like theyd endured a lifetimes worth of hardship.
Conservative drooling to revert us back to this timeline, that's why they are reverting abortion and sex ed
Not arguing with the take but I wonder if we need more detail instead of blaming "conservatives". Maybe we could start saying "Some conservatives" more. If we keep exaggerating the divide there is only one place it will lead.
All conservatives support this because they vote for the party that wants this. If they didn't, then they would not be conservatives.
Not specifically. They're willing to put up with a lot of shit to get just the one or even two issues they care about addressed. Funnily one of them apparently being to "own the libs", lol. My point is this, look at the way they talk about liberals. When we liberals(?) hear them we think, "What a bunch of idiots, look how wrong they are about our stances on issues". I consider the way they look at us as being that same contempt. Just a thought.
If anyone still labels themselves conservative and vote conservative, they are not blameless
I don't say they're blameless, only that when attacking a specific issue it's not helpful to take such a broad swipe. You have to remember we're dealing with humans here, a very difficult "they" to lay down.

The children yearn for the shrimp
He is shucking oysters not shrimp.
The caption I originally found with the pic says:
Manuel the young shrimp picker, age 5, and a mountain of child labor oyster shells behind him. He worked last year. Understands not a word of English. Biloxi, Mississippi.
I don't have any further information, so I went with what it said.
