What is wrong with this website that it doesn't include an Economics section? I am putting this here in a feeble attempt to correct this.
What is the prejudice against this topic? The National Debt, Trade and Globalism, Supply-and-Demand, Labor laws and Labor disputes, Taxes, etc. Our quality of life, welfare, living standard is largely dependent on how these are addressed, but the average American is apparently a crybaby who cannot stand to hear of it and cannot bear to critically judge the decisions being made (and preached but not debated) in high places, by speech-makers who mostly just pander to certain factions who aggressively solicit them, to the detriment of everyone else.
When I went to college the Economics classes were held mostly in the Social Science Bldg., so putting this here seems reasonable, for lack of a proper place being provided for it.
The extreme contempt for Economics, and mindlessness today among the idiots and crybabies and restless natives of America (and other countries also?) shows through in the following:
This is HATE, almost as bad as hate against a class or race, only in this case it's hate against a topic people can't bear to think about. At most, people only want to give it just enough time to focus on the particular class or race they hate, and slam that hated object -- immigrants, employers, Jews, greedy capitalist pigs, foreigners, landlords, sweatshop owners, scab laborers, etc. -- and then run away before the targeted scapegoat has a chance to even see what hit them.
I don't know if this is only a U.S.A. mental disease, or if it's worldwide. I've seen some programs on BBC (not many, but at least an occasional one), and possibly DW, where there's an intelligent debate/discussion on economics. Perhaps the hate-disease is bad in those countries too, but slightly less widespread than in the U.S.

Perhaps this discussion would fit better under miscellaneous.
