I think you said it best. It feels like vibes are influencing our policies. Since controversy sells people are ignoring the experts like yourself and flocking to those who makes things entertaining. I am surprised that financial and economic literacy is a topic with bipartisan support yet there is nothing in a lit of states. Ever since becoming an adjunct i do my best to econ relatable and fun. The alternative is nothing anyone wants.

In the world of clout chasing and clicks, it is hard to stay away from that temptation. I will continue to focus on the truth, the economic truth.

Great work, Dr. A! I'm curious if we'll ever know the suppy vs. demand pull for bad news. I there's definitely a demand for news that conforms to people's prior beliefs.

Thanks, Jadrian. We need more balanced economic news that is factual.
