wild leap from one large, difficult subject to a second one, with no provided evidence, real link or even train of thought.. just "mind salad".. counterproductive to the flow of the reason here

Can you expound upon this?

What's the alternative way, and why are kids free-er in it?

How do kids vary in wealth and how does this affect their freedom? (For current kids? For American kids at different times?)

Obviously they exchange labour for capital and are rewarded commensurately by the free market.

Thinking about the freedoms of the chimney sweeping children in the free markets of historical England almost brought a tear to my eyes, thank you.

They were perfectly free to go work in a textile mill or coal mine if they didn't like being a chimney sweep!

This is entirely true; rich people generally send their children to schools where they're treated with more dignity.

The American way is to save the elderly at the expense of the kids while also saddling them with debt.
