For anyone who does end up reading this, I highly reccomend reading r/badeconomics for most economic questions you come up with. I find that understanding an economic issue ends up requiring me to read one papers just to penetrate one paragraph of someone's explanation of a phenomenon. Badecon instead is a place where you see bad ideas taken and dissected to show what was wrong, and in the process many sacred cows and talking points get dissected. Makes the process a whole lot easier to understand from a topical issue perspective (rather than doing a part time econ degree)
