        Why does everyone keep saying child poverty?

        Like, do children in other countries have some sort of massive wealth I’m not aware of?

          To distinguish in their minds between people possessing free will and such, and people who don’t (yet). The first, the adult, is only a victim of their own poor life choices (in this individual responsibility-guilt view on society), their shitty life situation is supposedly their own fault. While children are ‘victims’. Thus advocating for equal chances rather than actual equality (which would involve shit like hard capping inheritance etc).

        If a coin gets devaluation, everything else to the coin becomes more expensive, so yes.

        For example: If 100 pesos was worth 1 euro, but through devaluation 200 pesos is now 1 euro, an Argentinian would have to pay up double the amount for the same thing in euro’s. So international import is hard because everything from all over the world just got so much more expensive, but export ‘should’ be easy, because all your domestic products are worth so much less to produce.

        I think fossil fuels and diapers just got even more expensive than that, but I don’t know why. (I’m bad at economics)

          If fuel was subsidised, it could be because it gets hit twice: general rising (import) prices + subsidies cut, while some other products might only feel the general rising prices.

        Fossiel fuels are the base for the price of basically everything else. If gas is expensive, transportation costs are goi to be expensive and the products are going to reflect that.
