man ok so I'm like taking microeconomics in a bid to avoid having to touch business classes for my degree requirements right? and I've been so frustrated for the last 3 weeks because this fucking textbook, it takes them like 2 pages to explain a concept that would make perfect sense to a 5 year old in up to two sentences. and by the time I understand that and work out how to skim the thing effectively, I'm running whole ass into another problem that I was suspecting but mostly distracted from by the shitty textbook writing. I dig up my own less obnoxious resources, ones human beings can understand, and it holds true no matter where I look: traditional economic theories genuinely truly wholeheartedly have fuck all to do with real life and is simply a horrifying fantasy held by people who have never actually had to look at their bank accounts. "inferior goods" are literally just things that poor people can afford. just watched a 10 minute video supplied by my teacher to explain price ceilings and it was 2 minutes of explanation, 8 minutes fantasizing about why rent control can never ever ever ever ever ever ever work. if I don't survive this term tell my kids I love them
