I get the sense that lots of people on #xitter feel like it was the first real public forum. where you could engage with public officials and journalists and subject matter experts. there was no algo. it was pure and important. they want that but don't trust that anywhere else can provide it. so they stay. not realizing that we are that done even better. or really could be if they all showed up. so I still think we will win cause the demand is there but it's damn frustrating. #SocialWeb

No offence, but 2 years ago this fella (Jeremy Corbyn's ex economic advisor) got laughed off #Xitter when advocating MMT.
It was all great & well explaining this complex economic theory to the average lay-person, but when several preeminent Economists populated the discussion, he ran & hid, & refused to defend his claims.
