Think Like An Economist

I love your show but aggregate supply and aggregate demand show you said that College will show to employers that they can stick with something and will be more productive. I disagree, I am a Service Coordinator for people with Developmental Disabilities and the employees coming out of College are a mix bag, some are great but many are lazy and have no organizational skills and the people without a College degree are dedicated and organized and do a better job. I think that we should stop encouraging all people to go to College and make it sound like you are less for not going when maybe you could work your way up ( Trader Joe’s, Costco) or train to be a construction worker, plumber or electrician or go in the tech field, who make a good salary. There are a lot of people that have College debt but end up in a job that doesn’t require a College degree. I think that by requiring a College degree you are limiting a lot of good people who could do the job even better.

Well-done! Sound in my car is soft during the content but LOUD during the commercials. May affect my opportunity cost to switch to another podcast with consistent sound quality.

There are moments of wishful economic theory here. Justin shows he is well left of center and mixing it in confuses the material. We see oil prices and know it’s 18 months of halted new oil and pipelines that have hurt this country. As an economist you know an 18 month halt to oil signed on Inauguration Day constricted supply and brought higher prices when we took off our masks and came out of lockdown. Talk about that, it’s real and tangible and there are numbers-think like an economist and show them. Your college kids have no hope if they can’t understand stimulus and restrictions to supply created all our current problems.
