Bring Jon Fasman back
Feb 24
Checks and Balances isn’t what it once was without Jon Fasman. Idriss’ smug attitude is unwelcome. I missed Jon Fasman as soon as he left, but especially since Elon took over the treasury payment systems three weeks ago, Idriss didn’t indicate that his pulse was elevated in the slightest. As we endure a power grab in America and are losing what’s best about our values as a nation, we need Jon Fasman back with us.
Wack.

For “economists” you’re incredibly biased. It’s as if Hamas reporting lower numbers because they are guilty of sacrificing their own men, women, and children isn’t incredibly obvious and well reported. Y’all don’t even question it as a factor, it’s so weird to me. Especially as economists, ya’ll do more political finger pointing than deciphering the data….which is not what economics is about.
