Been hearing that quote all day and my god I love that movie and now I love it more. Anyone? Anyone?
Ben Stein’s not here, I don’t think, but would love to hear his thoughts. Did he come up with those lines? My guess is yes, that’s all him trying to warn future generations through drool.

I guess he’s still alive, interesting guy, agree he probably ad libbed those Econ basics.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if Willis C. Hawley, co-author of the disastrous Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, is related to scurrying Republican Senator Josh Hawley?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?

No, it appears.

lakebiglake.bsky.social•3 days ago

By that I mean no to whether they’re related, not to whether anybody knows.

ncglasses.bsky.social•3 days ago

ah. snap

ncglasses.bsky.social•3 days ago

'No', as in 'it appears they're not related', or
'No', as in 'it appears no one knows'?

I still remember studying economics at high school, it was reinforced to us how bad tariffs were.

#Trumponomics seems to me to be exactly what you'd expect of a 6x bankrupt who actually managed to bankrupt a casino.

Oh he went to school and I wouldnt say this about any other kid, but maybe Donnie didnt get bullied hard enough. In all honesty, the best thing that coulda happened to Donnie as a kid would have been his dad dying early in his life.

hope there's a way that actor gets some royalties out of this ... it's everywhere....

Wouldn't be too concerned about Ben Stein's fortunes, he's a bit of a far right scumbag.

Ergh.

Frighteningly, it reminds me of my teaching days. 🤣

jr002.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would have been that one annoying student that answered all of the teacher’s questions 😂

Well Ben Stein stars in this clip and voted for Trump. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off had too many big word for the orange uhhh, excrement. I'm sure he didn't finish it.

It has to be deliberate. Trump is causing a recession so his billionaire friends can buy up businesses for nix as they go under. Then, when they "save" the economy, they'd have all doubled their wealth! Hooray. At the cost of America's poorest.

businesses don’t become cheap in a recession, they go into liquidation

justthisguyxyz.bsky.social•3 days ago

And going into liquidation is likely to do what to the share price?

spillanemj.bsky.social•3 days ago

A low share price doesn’t mean cheap

justthisguyxyz.bsky.social•3 days ago

What? 🤪

In 2000 Cisco was the world’s most valuable company. Then its price started falling. In six months it had fallen 30%. Was it cheap?
