So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
Movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
Got my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay

Mickey is so desperate to believe that you have to spend the majority of your life in academia cock gobbling some tenured professor to achieve true success. Robots will eat your shit up bro.

There is no solution there. Like MMT, it's an academic pipe dream.
I'm no economist but from the research I've done, it looks good. It needs to be done right, like any other thing, in order to succeed.
