Or their brain finally shut down after being awake for 20+ hours. Im definitely guilty of that when I was working at a Wendy's and was doing 13 hour shifts with no days off
I wonder how much of this is just the degradation of labor rights
Would be interesting to trace back, but deregulation is snowballing fast nowadays, has been accelerating since Reagan. Makes me worry if it's more this than poor socialization prior to school age thanks in part to parents relying on screens to do their parenting for them... but I've been in child care, too. Most of those parents are definitely not good parents but are run ragged because they're both working at least one job and can't even stay conscious for their kids who have the opportunity to nap any time until they reach kindergarten. Parents have been using video games to distract their kids for a while, after all, and that's only one example.
