As someone with a B.A. in Finance and soon to be J.D. I smile at the idea of you, with two degrees symbolizing proficiency in economics/business, discarding the knowledge required to earn those degrees in favor of an emotional attachment to a candidate that promises everyone "free" sh*t. Now go get your adderall prescription filled, tax season is coming up and I want you working round the clock

Oh haha you misunderstand me then. I've no love for Bernie but this " explanation " of the real world is so devoid of reality as to be vapid. Nice crack about the aderall but I don't do Tax work. I'm in corporate finance and treasury working for a HNW individual and I see first hand how much of the "value" of a multi billionaire is created through the monopoly power of the family business relationships, lobbying and tax manipulation. So when you finish your PHD, do you plan to teach or go to Wall Street and create some new type of synthetic derivative that simultaneously creates no actual value for society and adds loads of systemic risk to the market? Just joking in good fun... We'll sort of lol.

Haha well explaining economic theory in terms of destiny is bound to leave some gaps, that's why I kept it very simple. These forums aren't exactly the area for academia lol. After my J.D. and then the BAR, I plan to go into corporate law and work with private equity firms in mergers and acquisitions. Taking into account your background I see the basis for your cookie jab lol. Most people on here don't understand the fundamentals though, so I threw them out there.

Ahh makes more sense now. Nothing wrong with fundamental theory but the real world as you know is much more grey. Your a glutton for punishment to go for the PHD and JD but your Private Equity overlords will reward you well for helping them find and prey upon distressed companies. Godspeed and may you better morals guide you.

Everybody on this post in uneducated in economics. While everyone (like you) that actually knows anything, just sits and shakes their heads.
