    Is everything more expensive, or just fossil fuels and disposable diapers?

    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)

    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).
