Economist recently had an article about miniature sized versions of the predator drones, some as small as six inches across.Honestly, I don't see how someone can complain when they were observed from public property.

You don’t need to be an economist to be a successful investor, but a grounding in the fundamental theory of “the dismal science” will forever open your eyes to a different and useful way of thinking about the world.

But I have found economists talking about how a rise in asset prices (without a material change in assets) is essentially redistribution of wealth from those without assets to those with assets.Example:Person 1: Has $100k in cash.Person 2: Has 1 house.House drops 50% in "value".Person 1: Has $100k in cash.Person 2: Has 1 house.Where is the "destruction of wealth"?

I think most economists are saying he simply benefited from inheriting a strong recovery set in motion by his predecessor, then screwed things up a bit with bad foreign policy (trade war with China that US consumers ultimately paid for), and a corporate tax cut that didn't move the needle as far as anyone can tell, before completely plunging us into a recession by being completely incompetent throughout Covid 19. 

The housing market is unlikely to experience a crash due to several key factors, according to housing economists.
