LOL!! Ok, kid.
“George McGovern had a masters in economics.”
Do you have a link to that?
Ansel I do believe you got me on that. It musta been someone else. A socialist who didn’t believe in capitalism who ran for POTUS. I might need some help. Thank you for correcting me.
McGovern learned some hard economic lessons in the 1980s when he bought a business.
“”In 1988, I invested most of the earnings from this lecture circuit acquiring the leasehold on Connecticut’s Stratford Inn. Hotels, inns and restaurants have always held a special fascination for me. The Stratford Inn promised the realization of a longtime dream to own a combination hotel, restaurant and public conference facility — complete with an experienced manager and staff.
In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn’s 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender.””
The same attitude roughly explains why after 20 years of warfare, the average Afghani reluctantly chose to side with the Taliban.
