hey john, totally get where you’re coming from! economics can be such a trip sometimes, right? i remember when i first started diving into basic econ, i was like, “wait, supply and demand is a thing?!” lol. but seriously, understanding even just the basics like opportunity costs or trade-offs can really change how you see everyday decisions. it’s like having this secret decoder for how the world works. and don't even get me started on the whole inflation thing... my wallet feels that on a personal level 😂. anyway, keep sharing your thoughts, love seeing these convos pop up in my feed! cheers, mate!
