    Economists say what their employer pays them to say. Even when they might be correct about something they should not be trusted anymore than you should trust the prosecution if you were in criminal court or the police officers interrogating you if you are a suspect in a crime.

    Noticed how the “economist” here is avocado toasting instead of talking about the whole scale destruction of the middle class via shitty medical insurance programs and shitty infrastructure? Notice how he isn’t going after the high frequency traders or short term thinking running rampant in our tech/industrial sector?
