Why the fuck do american children set up lemonade stands it's fucking weird grooming kids into grifter "entrepreneurial spirit" culture just give them pocket money ffs. Don't you teach kids not to speak to strangers?
We don't do this shit in the uk. Thank fucking god.
Girl scouts selling cookies too. Weird as fuck. Does not happen here. MLM/Pyramid schemes for children ffs.
The OP might be joking about the kid but I'm not, it's not the kid's fault though it's the parents allowing and encouraging petite-bourgeois behaviour at a young age because nobody counters this negative element of american cultural grooming and it factors into normalisation of the "pursuit of happiness" bullshit inherent to the "american dream". It's a component of early cultural brainwashing.
I hope not. Socializing with strangers is a good skill which is more helpful to instill in a child than a blanket fear of strangers. Not having a go at you or anything, but I feel like this is a really common contributor to the atomization of modern Westoid societies. Of course teach kids boundaries, but it is kinda messed up imo to teach them not to speak to strangers.
Well put
