How are dead children going to affect the market?

They aren't and that is why so many will continue to die. If you tie yearly bonuses in Fortune 500 companies to less school shooting deaths, you would have legislation to take every gun away from Americans by the end of the week.

To be fair, once child labor became illegal they turned into a huge economic burden.

So the Orphan crushing machine operating as designed.

CEO was generating income of 10million per year... How much income did the children generate...
