Every time an economist shows up on television news, there should be a poet that gets equal time.

Or how about an astrologer? Astrologers do forecasts & predictions just like economists do, and if we crunch some of that data, we might see who wins in the forecasting & predicting dept. I vote astrologers, tho poets are a lovely sentiment.

**AND** the economist has their choice of: 1- an anal Covid swab 2- eval to see how strong their sociopathic traits are 3- being tarred/feathered ...on live TV before they give their “economic report”. Exception for Richard Wolff, of course. This is a totally fair suggestion.

YES! And every time a member of the military shows up on TV, there should be a peace activist that gets equal time.

It would be pointless. They would only pick a poet who agrees with the economist.

Marianne 2024 is now my default presidential preference.

I agree. Artist's are more useful, if you think about it...
