Freight equalization policy
Alright, kiddo, let's talk about something called the "freight equalization policy." You know how sometimes when you buy things, they have to be transported from one place to another? Like when you get something delivered to your house, it has to be brought from the store to your doorstep.
Well, the freight equalization policy is a rule that was made by the government to help people who live in faraway places get things easier and cheaper. See, sometimes when you live in a really faraway place, it can be hard to get things because the people who make and sell the things have to pay a lot of extra money to get them to you. That extra money is called "freight."
So, the government made this rule that says that the people who make and sell things can't charge people who live in faraway places more money just because it costs more to get the things to them. Instead, they have to charge the same price to everyone, no matter where they live. That way, people who live in faraway places can get things without having to pay more just because of where they live.
Does that make sense, kiddo?
