Real World Stuff's Journal: The REAL RWS... I've Never Trusted Optimists In Business...

I don't trust cheerful accountants either.

Anyway, something to read here.

Here's a snippet...

"Warren Buffett famously said, "Never ask a barber if you need a haircut." By the same token, never ask a FIRE Economy economist how the FIRE Economy is doing. Ask an independent economist, if you can find one. You'll find them on both the left and the right. Your job as an informed citizen is to hear the clarity of analysis through the filter of ideology, your own as well as the economist's. But at least when you are listening to an independent economist you are not hearing a FIRE Economy sales pitch."

Indeed.

I never trust a skinny chef either.
