An Open Letter from Economists on Canadian Carbon Pricing

[blackpowder]

Honestly, 1 teenager in my life is plenty. I shouldn't ever respond to this stuff. But then something really dumb is said....

[fjlip]

I think Chuck must have me blocked?
When I post any data or information that is relative to the conversation he seens to not have seen or considered it.
He just goes back over the mantra he has been chanting forever.
He never answers even the simplest questions asking for his opinion on anything.
He must not see it?

Same here, I am asking if he can READ, to answer the question, comment on a post of facts...

That's what makes it so irresistible to keep responding.
Chuck tries so hard to present himself as the smartest guy in the room. And fails so spectacularly every time, then comes back for more abuse
It is so easy, and so entertaining to nudge him to reveal how little he understands the concepts he is so certain about.
The dunning Kruger effect on full display for all to see.

Glad to see the flat earthers talking to themselves!

Their message, never trust an expert they are all wrong!

In other words education is a waste of time!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Chuck, do you know what the Dunning Kruger effect is?
Do you know where your level of knowledge places you on the curve?

[chuckChuck]

At least I am smart enough to know the difference between fact and fiction and who is a credible source of information! Unlike you, a pretend libertarian who comes up with really boneheaded ideas that are not supported by science!

[chuckChuck]

Who is a more knowledgeable and reliable source of economic analysis?

Hmmmmm let me think for a second....

Blake Shafer or AB5 an anonymous libertarian Alberta farmer?

Take a look at Shafers CV then decide! And the winner is ......

Better than knowing nothing like you crop! All birds are pests right!

And I will rely on Blake Shafer when it comes to the economics of electricity production.
