"Trump's going to fix the economy ... with tariffs!"
"Uh, a tariff is a tax."
"..."
There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize winning economist. Economists got upset that there wasn't a Nobel Prize for them, so came up with The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, and then pretend it's the same thing.
If you read some of the prize winning papers some of them are also hilarious, like how economists discovered that slavery is bad fairly recently.
Damn, I should become a *Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel* prize winning economist.
The economy is not a natural phenomenon, it was designed... Economists explaining "how things work" is like someone explaining how baseball works... That's great, but it's time to change to an entirely different game, so you telling me how baseball works is worthless
the current economy is way too complex for it to be designed, it has been shaped by people, but it's mostly fucking emergent properties, simple interactions lead to complex shit.
I would also argue against it not being a natural phenomenon arguably any civilization that gets anywhere would have some sort of money and a system around it, a.k.a. the economy.
Ronnie Ray-gun used to say "If you're explaining, you're losing". A depressing number of people seem to agree with that idea.
She's said things that people are quoting?
There's a reason brain rot is so popular there
The percent of Americans over 18 that voted for Trump in 2016 was 25%. Yes, there's brain rot, but it's nowhere near what the rest of the world is picturing in their heads.
The larger issue here is voter turnout. 45% of our country refused to vote that same year. These people aren't necessarily stupid, they just don't give a shit. I'd call that selfishness, personally.
It’s the Doritos, isn’t it?
There's nothing to rot if there is no brain tho
