I hope your degree was "economic" in the sense that you didn't pay much for it

Thinking pop-slop authors like Piketty are worth paying attention to is a worse self-indictment than the most condescending thing I could possibly say here.
You should downgrade your confidence that it's possible to meddle with natural resource allocation without causing problems.
- StopDisinfo910 1y agoDo you have any argument to share outside of insulting me and Piketty? Charitably, you seem to be implying that any actions which would disturb the current situation would be detrimental because current allocation is the best that can be done. That seems highly suspicious to me because I don't think anyone is happy with the current fiscal policies. People disagree about what should be done but I think everyone agrees we are not at an optimum.
