Idk, I've lectured my kids on monetary and economic policy enough that they know better than to ask that question.
The oldest is 10, but he just had to know why I dislike Trump, and you can't really get into why tariffs are bad without first explaining the fundamentals of supply and demand, as well as central banks managing monetary policy. They might not even be that far off if you ask them when the last fed rate hike was.
I wish I was joking, but I'm already in too deep with my conviction that I'll answer any question they have.
I feel sorry for that 10 year old. If they just had to know, its because their life is surrounded by it. A normal 10 year old wouldn't give a shit. I would project less politics into the household for the kids sake.
And of course we all know the worst thing that can happen to a child is for them to be considered abnormal by weirdos on the Internet.
What I mean is the commenter is either lying, or they're so obsessed with politics that it infects their 10 year Olds life to an unhealthy degree. That's a fault in parenting and a fault in creating a safe childhood for the child. No 10 year old needs to be concerned with this shit.
