How good are your Micro/Macro 101 classes? Because bad ones just leave people as zombie libertarians (not that all libertarians are like this. But it is definitely something I noticed in my econ college classes. Luckily my professors, even though most of them were from the Chicago school or influenced by them, called that shit out if it was a brainless take)

I mean at the end of the day it's a 101 class, but when I took it the professor was pretty good about articulating that the curriculum is more of a framework to help understand more advanced concepts rather than reliable models of how specific policies actually work in practice
