    Four out of five times I hear someone explain an economic concept like inflation or investment, there’s always an instinctive inkling that it wouldn’t be ethically workable under normal circumstances. Take the investment part for example. On Shark Tank, the sharks often say things along the lines of giving the entrepreneur a boost in return for a piece of the spoils. That sounds like trade Faustianism. Or the idea that the functionality of money is affected by spiritual adherence but not national population. Or the idea a set standard [of pay] deters crime… which the news plays around with economically but I get “huh what’s going on here” reactions for entertaining a follow-up to. It’s almost as if the sensitivity is consciously selective.

        I have a single opinion associated enough with people who act in bad faith that I was thought of as being one. You got a problem with that? That doesn’t reflect interactive performance here.

        If something I say confuses you, I welcome questions about whichever part does, and I’d be willing to explain myself, as opposed to speaking for all those who gave me the thumbs down, for whatever reason they may have, and applying that as a weight on me.
