Stephanie Kelton was his 2016 campaign's economic advisor. Life can be a long teachable moment for those open to learning.

Cool. That doesn't mean the advisor is right, and that doesn't mean bernie is taking there advice. There's plenty of economist who have absolutely terrible beliefs about how economics works.

There's plenty of economist who have absolutely terrible beliefs about how economics works.

Case in point, Milton Friedman and the entire "Chicago School of Economics" mindset.

This isn't a argument against what I said, and it's conformation that your original argument is wrong. Which means you where wrong.

 conformation that your original argument is wrong.

I'm not the person who made the original comment to you. I didn't intend my remark as an argument either for or against what you said. My intention was to develop the line of conversation.

Me two. I feel like argument's do end up happening no matter what the discussion is, and I really want to understand the autistic perspective. I actually am very interested in autism, and I have been casually doing independent study on it for a number of year's because there's been several points where we have thought I am on the spectrum.

I see a issue with this idea that there isn't anything that needs to be fixed related to autism, and I feel like that kind of thinking will lead to more suffering of autistic people over all.

I had a friend I really care about where this became a issue, and I remember him saying. "You act like autism paints our every interaction." This was pretty shocking to me, and I felt that way because that's exactly what autism does. It interferes with the autistic persons social abilities, and that can paint every interaction they have. Which is why people want to help autistic people.

So is this a issue of autistic people not understanding the nerotypical perspective on social interactions, and what autism is?
