Rewatching Ducktales (2017), and it's been a while tbh, I'd forgotten how much they made LP suffer early on. The guy needs a sodding union, 'cause - even aside from adventuring which I guarantee isn't in his contract and he isn't getting hazard pay for - Scrooge has him working for 16 hours piloting the submarine, in the first episode. He doesn't let him sleep, doesn't have relief available, nothing.

Compare this to Glomgold, who actually seems to have hired a proper boat crew, and is paying his workers, even if they are 'the best of the cheapest', Scrooge kind of looks bad here, ngl.

#yes I know Scrooge's whole thing is adventuring with family rather than employees but this is the first episode LP isn't family yet #even if he were 16 hours piloting a sub with no sleep or relief smacks of exploitation #LaunchPads of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your chains.#I also realise Glomgold does abandon his people I'm not saying he's a good guy just a less openly exploitative boss.#Seriously imagine if you boss suddenly wanted you to do 16 hours overtime with no breaks and no extra pay #yes I realise I'm overthinking a kid's show what's your point?#ducktales #ducktales 2017 #launchpad mcquack
