I actually think he does but he still spends all his time lecturing Twitter how economic indicators are more important. He's very much a lib pedant. He's prone to get sarcastic when he mentions numbers.

His bio

I do metro policy research, focused on fair housing, school integration, and demography.

I never googled him because I assumed he had some kind of mid-level "planning" job. I thought it was a bit curious he didn't say where he works but I assumed he didn't want to give Twitter trolls that info right in his bio. Trolls can be lazy. They might give up if a even simple google is involved.

One day I saw a tweet where he said he was a lawyer. I forget how he phrased it. Like "one of the good ones"? I thought to myself "Ah, that figures!"

I knew "one of the good ones" wasn't right. It didn't sound like him. "Just the regular kind" is exactly what a lanyard-brained guy would say. And that's him.

Look I'm not an M&A lawyer, just the regular kind, but I'm pretty sure if you're the richest guy in the world you shouldn't go around handing people slips of paper that say "I will give you 44 billion dollars in three months, promise," even if it's really funny and gets you RTs
