No, it is not. It is a term in economics for specific jobs and it shouldn’t be responded to emotionally. It’s science.
Maybe consider that as you have no education in economics, as is evident by your claims that economists intend to predict the future rather than explained what has already happened, that your reaction is not coming from a place of understanding.
This isn’t intended to debase people and my own career is “unskilled” despite requiring years of “education” to do well (I’m in wine/liquor).
It's not a science, it's a cult.
Ok so that’s a different subject you should look into namely “what does ‘science’ mean and what does and does not make something scientific” because you are totally wrong about this.
Again as you have already proven that you have no idea what economists do maybe you shouldn’t be taking definitive positions on this subject.
MIT offers their economics coursework for free if you care to actually learn it.
I took econ in college and got a 4.0. It's bullshit.
No, you did not.
