Thx for your  input.

I have known economics long enough to know the futility of trying to explain it to anyone who isn't interested in learning. And most people here aren't. This is a thread started by BRTD, referencing Opebo and based on an Upworthy video. What is the point of engaging with it?

Nothing, but why comment if you think its piointless?

Because people should be made aware that they are wrong. Otherwise innocent third parties stumbling upon the thread might think that this is a reasoned discussion based on knowledge or something like that.

I don't have the time or energy to fight every fruitless battle that falls in my path. I do one every know and then and usually not on economics.

Memphis feels threatened by groups like women and college students. Pretty classic white Southern male that way.

I especially like the idea that the world he inhabits is somehow more real than that of the educated. In reality, the difference between educated and non-educated isn't that the former somehow don't live real lives. They just, you know, got an education.
