Weird Context: it’s getting clear to me everyday how the American mind cannot think without involving Capitalism in their ideas.
I hear that even American parents are asking their teenage children for rent. Which is kind of weird to me considering how most cultures that I know of encourage kindness and social support. I might be biased here as I am not American and don’t have a deep experience with Americans beyond online interactions and news and articles about them.

Have worked with teams remotely over the world. When comparing the working styles of the different teams the best description I could give is “we’re the result of bloodthirsty capitalism”.
I would also say that the rent thing isn’t really trying to extort money from your child. It’s more about teaching them about finances and budgeting.
