  • Economists

    So many interviews of economists who are rarely right and hardly any interviews of real business people. And when I listen to the consumer you interview, I wonder if they have any economic knowledge or everything they think is through their echo chamber political views. But then again, it’s obvious what the political biases are with all the snitty comments by Kai.
