      He got a degree in Africana studies. I’m sure you understand being skeptical of his knowledge on economics… his policies are popular, but that’s not at all the same as being good in the long term. I guess time will tell.

          If you intentionally misunderstood my point in order to make it about race, that’s on you.

              It’s his degree and it has nothing to do with economics. My point is that he has no formal education in economics.

                Ok and? Most lawyers dont have degrees in economics and yet congress is overwhelmingly made up of lawyers. But you’re not crying about congress being woefully lacking in economics degrees.

                  Whattabout Congress? Yes, they are also woefully lacking in economics qualifications. That’s how we are in a perpetual cycle of increasing entitlements driving inflation in the first place. But then Mamdani kicking the inflation machine into high gear while trying to control prices can only end in economic disaster.

                    But for some reason youre hyperfocused on El-Sayed and Mandani and not the overall irrelevant qualifications. And clearly Mamdani’s policies are actually working, the budget is balanced. And explain to me how the fuck Mandani, a mayor of a city, has any effect on the federal reserve’s monetary printing policy.
