I unironically bet there are more people on this website who understand economics than there are on r/finance or whatever. also, just speaking for myself, I understand economics. I think it's largely bullshit, but I understand it well enough to feel like I'm justified in that opinion / to pass a college course on the subject.

I mean I definitely don't

I took econ 101 in college so I know most of the common macro stuff which is enough to answer probably 75% of questions I see about it. I'll leave the real complex stuff to the real nerds
