You literally stated that you had created an account only to tell me that I suck. Which was a lie, you created an account to talk about Bosnia which is fine but fundamentally, I piss in your cheerios is not the sort of introduction that gets you civil discourse.

I read the damn book. You didn't. As stated, it's 95% "things other than MMT" and "things that are MMT" fits on a napkin. It is truly Laffer Curve communism; the four points I listed (or five if you want to go Wiki on it) are all you need to know. I, too, thought there was more to it than that. There is not. What else do you expect me to state?

As far as "elaborate explanations for why I shouldn’t read something" I have elaborate explanations both ways. I even have a justification for pontification if you were to ask. You did not. Instead you said hi new here u sukk and then expected civil discourse. "Sorry if I came off as brash or something?" Followed by more backhanded snark? So far you've displayed

- indignance

- superiority

- disappointment

- scorn

- sarcasm

- haughtyness

- condescension

- false humility

- incredulousness

- and dismissal

in that order and we've only traded a couple dozen words.

So yeah - I could absolutely delve deeper into this shit; after all, I read the damn book. But I need a reason to interact with you. Right now, that reason is to demonstrate as convivially as possible that if you decide to interact with me in this manner you will come out on the short end.

But that's done now. So. Would you like to try again? Or would you like to be on your merry way?
