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.
Oh in the 90s we had Junior Achievement speakers come in all the time. It was volunteers of like bank managers and lawyers and other petite bourg interests pushing free market superiority propaganda on kids. I think they even tied it into "American civic ideals". Like the usual propaganda but cranked up to 11.
Yeah we don't have that shit here either.
