Ep. 70 Bob Tells Stories About Cashiers, the Vice of Economists, AOC Getting Trolled, and Biden as the Godfather
In this whimsical episode, Bob tells stories about cashiers giving him too much change, as well as the recent time he had somehow convinced himself that the Fed was engaging in the *opposite* of what everybody was assuming, in the repo markets. He also explains what gave away the troll who wanted AOC to adopt “Eat the babies!” as her campaign slogan, and why the people comparing Trump to the Godfather are misquoting the movie..
