I mostly agree (except for the weird MMT stuff). OTOH, I believe governments and schools at least in my country have made a good faith effort to try to educate kids widely about these matters. But most kids and adults alike probably find textbook economics and statistics as appealing as unsweetened oatmeal, and strongly prefer to consume sensationalized headlines and conspiracy theories. There's some tension between free choice and paternalistically nudging/forcing the population towards healthier stuff, that I wouldn't know how to resolve.
