You know, between the rapid pace of news events these days and the ubiquitous proliferation

of media outlets, it's very easy to get so overwhelmed with information that you lose your

focus and let your mind drift to meaningless side issues, like whether if you continually

rewind the housemaid so you can watch the Sydney-Sweeney sex scene over and over. It will somehow show up on the feed so your wife will find out when she goes to watch one of those movies she likes where none of the women even takes her shirt off. So what the hell's the point? I'm sorry. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can lose your focus and not even realize that you don't understand the issues in play.

So now and again, we hear at The Daily Wire like to take a moment to try to explain to you some of the important subjects that we ourselves know absolutely nothing about.

For instance, President Trump says the economy is doing great, but polls show that many people disagree.

So today, we want to try to unpack

how the hell should I know, and why can't you people just leave me alone?

Economics is a science, like pinball or craps. The word comes from the Greek root, omics, meaning something you read in the newspaper that is so

Now, here at the Andrew Claven Show, we know that some people in our audience are functionally

illiterate, but the rest of our audience can only

aspire to being functionally illiterate. So in order to explain the principles of economics in the

simplest possible way, we're going to take you through an ordinary day in the life of an

economist. Ordinary economist, Wolfgang Stardle, wakes up a little after 6 a.m. He opens the shades and time to see

the sun cresting the eastern horizon. Oh my God, says Wolfgang Stardle. What the hell is that?

That's the sun coming up in the morning, says Mrs. Stardle. Wow, says Wolfgang. That's surprising.

Yesterday I predicted that artificial intelligence would cause the

moon to turn to blood while the sun refused to shine. So this development is very unexpected.

Soon after, Mrs. Stardle puts breakfast on the table. Whoa, cries Wolfgang Stardle. Are those fried eggs?
