LOL Me too. And a sorta similar story. My first year Economics professor taught virtually from the textbook. was so boring a few of us decided we could learn more in an hour without his reading. I never checked but heard once he had arrived from a position in an American embassy somewhere.
S America rings a bell. I just remember he was a timid looking fella with glasses. Had a look that could be cast as an American spy in an embassy in Brazil. At that level as you felt it was one of the easiest courses. At that level. An old saying is put 100 economists in a room and you'll get 100 ideas of where economies are headed. At that level still didn't get an A, don't think.

I don't want to change the topic you were on but I'd be really interested in hearing your viewpoints on this little story I happened to record and watch tonight.

Not blaming anyone but it really did give me a WTF moment and I know you would know way better than I do.
