jenneric asked: remind me again why you're minoring in econ, re: hating econ post
because I enjoy learning about it, but hate this class and shouldn’t’ve taken it over the summer. but overall i feel good learning it. I’m just frustrated with the professor, the course, and myself. also, I only need to take three more classes after this one to minor in it, so it’s pretty worth it i think.
and on a broader note, I want to learn economics because it’s a defining issue of our time, and as an aspiring reporter, I want to understand it.
I’m also fascinated by the idea of political decisions flying in the face of proven theory and substantiated evidence. re: ignoring the precedents of how to grow an economy, and ignoring the factual basis of man-made climate change.
