U still have 50% of your loser DNA in the kid

also 35 year old fencing medalist is not same as 100 m dash medalist i guess

they bang just before event, cos its proven it increase performance ( at least in men)

oh, they just use mathematical models like regresion analysis

mom is the world bank/general population (the basic source of money)

candy is any commodity like oil

you and your brother are contries/goverments

Stores are commodity producing countries, you are banned from buying in specific places because of politics/sanctions/ custom duties

​

How is it not eli5?

i never tried to explain politics and marcroeconomy to 5 year old but here it goes:

​

Your mom gives you and your brother a dollar everyday

You both want spend it all on candy

Your brother found a place where he can buy candy cheaper than you and keeps it a secret (or you just can't go to same store). You complain to your mom and you get more money

Sometimes your mom gives more money to you, sometimes more money to your brother

You negotiate amout of money you will receve from your mom every month based on behaviour

Your brother started stockpile of candy so he can sell it to you for profit

In response you also started a stockpile of candy to sell to your brother

You both sell it only when it benefits seller most

​

You start give each other a credit in candy and extort services like washing dishes on mowing the lawn on each other when you can't pay back

​

Effectively price of candy fluctuates over time and depends on how much candy you want to eat given month
