        Ooh actually could you type out that explanation cuz having a like, concrete “here’s a persons job who deals with this” way to explain it may be handy. (But also you don’t gotta if you’re super tired of it.)

        I used to work for an import/export middleman company a decade ago, data analytics, db management, executive report production, etc.

        I feel your pain.

        I’ve spent a decade now explaining basic economics to idiots, and my conclusion is America is doomed.

        Does it matter that I have degrees in Econ and Poli Sci? Years of experience with all kinds of data analytics work?

        Nope. Some idiot used car salesman has a gut feeling, some HVAC maintenance guy can’t grasp algebra.

        Therefore I am wrong.

        … and now we reap what we have sewn.

      Can you explain them to me? I’m starting to have my doubts.
