Mikey Johnson, economic genius, strikes again

I thought his interview with CNBC was bad. You know, the one where he flat out lied and said trump had 90% approval. Well, apparently, during the same interview this happened:
CNBC: Do you think Jay Powell should stick around?
MJ: My opinion is that we should reduce interest rates. The American economy is hot.
CNBC: But if it's too hot, you don't want to cut rates.

that I think it causes him to seem more middle of the road. But he's actually just as extreme and dangerous as trump.

The last thing he wants to hear, Speaker Johnson, Jesus Christ is in your office. He wants to chat. About You.

Working people who choose to wear MAGA red caps hate science for their own reasons: It tells them things about disease and environmental destruction and, say, women’s reproductive health that they cannot bear to face. Scientific findings often do not jibe with their religious beliefs. If you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old and were never taught how to distinguish between faith and knowledge, you’re naturally going to have a testy relationship with science.
