My fifth grade-aged daughter was aghast when she heard about the tariffs because they had just learned about them in school. “But that’s a tax on imported stuff!”
It is WILD to me that my 11 year old has a firmer grasp on economic policy than the average voter.
I wasn't either, but our bathroom was regularly stocked with Newsweek, The Utne Reader, and The Progressive. I read them. I also watched the news with my mom. In 9th grade, I got hate mail after I published my opinions about the RNC in the school paper. 🙌 Mom and journalism teacher were proud lol.
