If it was bought recently, I would agree with you but owner could just buy it because it looks cool/etc (I know I know but who am I to judge other peopl's tastes). Does it have to be political?

Don't let this single conversation get you out of your way. There are more good people than bad ones but sadly condition of the job market is not the best.
And honestly if I were asked the same question I wouldn't give a clear answer either - it's not only about skills but about being lucky enough for your skills to exactly match the ones that employer is searching for. If you have more you get more chances but unused skills will fade away quite quickly.
That's why in my opinion it's simpler to educate yourself until time invested in education stops giving a lot of profit (basically you got to learn most commonly required skills) and then just try until you land a job
But if there aren't enough jobs in us market - only connections will help sadly
Yeah I guess you're right and that depends on the child and their parents themselves.
My parents weren't limiting my time in any way and that helped me to become software engineer actually so to me it turned out to be a good thing. If I did have my screen time limited I would totally spend it on computer.games and not CS. I'm sure about it because I spent a lot of time playing too haha
Yet still there are people that make strange (and terrible) financial decisions, when preorders just opened, people were really looking forward into buying it. I'm still not convinced that each owner buys it because of politics/trump/etc.
