Dude is bewildered. You’d think he would have known this stuff already
I still can't stop laughing about the fact that his podcast is called "The Problem With Jon Stewart" and its unintentional accuracy.
I think the wordplay is intentional but shit watching this does little for my Daily Show nostalgia so I see your point
Jon Stewart is a moron like most liberals. Not surprising.
And talking to some libertarian GMU Mercator psycho no less.
Libs are the most gullible people on earth.
The comment section with bulleted lists describing why it was actually better to bail out the banks rather than homeowners in the Great Recession.
Next up: Jon Stewart finds out inflation is a method that ensures money saved from yesteryear will be worth less than money earned today and that has implications for people who cannot save enough money to invest it (which is inflation-proofing)
As fun as dunking on Jon Stewart is I didn't grasp this concept myself until I read Graeber's Debt: the first 5000 years. It's not an intuitive concept when you exist in a capitalist society surrounded with neoliberal narratives and framing.
Yeah honestly his questions make sense. Most people have no idea what money is supposed to represent or how it’s thought about by the people controlling the budget and money supply
