This discussion reminds me of a joke once recounted by Isaac Asimov one of his books (I think it was The Stars in Their Courses) and it went something like this: Ronald Reagen was worriedly mulling over about some of the unpleasant realities facing him he was loath to accept. He called in a renowned historian and asked him, "what is two plus two?" "Four", answered the historian. This answer troubled him a bit, so he decided to seek other expert's opinions. His psychiatrist's answer was the same. A renowned mathematician said "definitely four." A renowned physicist said, "all the best available evidence indicates that four is the answer." Still not quite at ease with that answer, he went through a list of other experts, who all gave the same answer. Finally, he called in his chief economist. The economist closed the curtains, checked to make sure no one else was in earshot, pulled Reagon close to him and whispered in his ear, "what do you want the answer to be, Mr. President?"Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 6:02 pmIf you know the information presented in even an introductory macroeconomics class, then you know how silly your claim is. You haven’t presented any sort of coherent economic theory to even try to explain our current economic situation other than “Democrats are evil.” Trying to discuss this topic with you is just an endless game of whack a mole in which you pop up with a new, freshly picked cherry when your last cherry is refuted. Rage and resentment is not a coherent anything.
