Jackass Econ Professors

Unread postby mekrob » Wed 22 Aug 2007, 10:34:58

So I just went to my first Econ class and am feeling very afraid of dealing with my professor. He was asking a bunch of questions to which the class is supposed to respond. One of them was if we've heard about how SS is going to go bankrupt, the world is poisoned and everyone in my generation is going to be poor in the future. I, of course, raised my hand along with a few others. He shot us down saying it was garbage.

It's going to be great to learn from such a scholar of economics. Guys like this put us in our current situation.

I believe someone else on here couldn't wait to get back to school to say "I told you so" to his econ professor about sub-primes. Anybody else with these guys floating around their universities?

I would say that since stocks are regaining, that the entire world is full of idiots like your professor.

About a year ago, I heard a business professor at a local university talking about how the world would never face energy problems because there was this gas, helium-3, on the moon that we could use to replace fossil fuels.

I didn't even bother to confront him with the facts. I suspect that he doesn't even know what nuclear fusion is...

So we are to travel to the moon, and bring back enough fuel to supply the worlds needs.

Did he work for the onion?
