    Gov’ts singularly listening to economists on the cause of our current recession is what’s causing our current recession.

    Economists aren’t always the best judge of much these days, and not being one shouldn’t disqualify anyone from having an opinion on the current shit storm we face.

      I used to compare them to Tarot Card readers but it then occurred to me that at least Tarot Card readers can do cold reading. So my advice to economists is try to get to the accuracy of Tarot for now.

      I don’t think our government should be solely listening to economists, but I don’t think that this means the government should be listening to an arrogant linguistics professor who has his head up his own ass and cannot critically examine his own intellectual failings.
