Try to pique his curiosity about "bigger things" with The Money Myth Exploded. You can print it out. I don;t necessarily agree with "social credit" on the terms advocated by Louis Even, but the notion that money comes out of thin air is something people just don;t think about. Congress has the power to create money out of thin air, why does it borrow it into existence?

Move the debate away from the political (because both parties and resulting tension between them are controlled by the same string-pullers, to keep the public preoccupied), and into the "greater good / economic".

I'd avoid working with things directly from Q, and push instead with a "theoretical" discussion.

I've also found that people are fascinated with the difference between Federal Reserve Notes and US Notes. Get one of them, best $10 conversation starter you will ever find.

I didn’t know they were readily available. They are part of the old non- Fed Lawful money of the US. Part of the FEDs originating legislation required that 300,000,000 of this remain in circulation.

That is supposed to be designateable, hardly any know/use it, but it’s why I cash all my checks with “Redeem Lawful money per 12 USC sec. 411” under the indorsement.
