ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Grow the Pie (phrase)

Growing the pie means making something bigger or creating more of something. You know when mom or dad cuts a cake into big slices and everyone gets sad because there's not enough cake? But then they cut the cake into smaller pieces, but there are more pieces, so everyone gets happy because there's enough cake for everyone! This is like growing the pie. It means finding ways to make more cake or making bigger slices so that more people can have cake. In real life, it's like creating new jobs or finding more money so that everyone can have enough. Instead of fighting over a small piece of pie, we work to make the pie bigger so that everyone can have a piece.
