minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-22 months agoI 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.
