I saw his comments on Twitter. What an a-hole. The funniest part is that he literally gets paid to have opinions about macroeconomics while you actually run a business and have skin in the game.
In the last 7 recessions, prime-age emp-pop has fallen an average of 1.8 percentage points from pre-recession month to +25 months. It's completely implausible to argue the world will "look identical" unless you're someone that gets paid to have opinions for a living. https://t.co/yCxd0UzYuu

I have no idea who this person is. He pops up in my Twitter feed on occasion angrily commenting on something I said. All I know is that he's a MMT advocate so he probably gets angry because I critique MMT sometimes.
I have no basis to like or dislike him and he has no idea who I am so I am always confused when someone makes personal attacks on someone they've never even met. Oh well.
I used to follow him on Twitter. He's a macro tourist. Block and move on.
