"You need to get a job! Become a college graduate! Get a PHD!" Now they are seeing how stupid they are. None of you realize it yet. While you argue over wether generic human capacities are replacable, keep an eye open for the next 5years. Thoes MIT students will be as useless as many of you are.

I believe the post is referencing [this site,](https://iceberg.mit.edu/), and it's hosted on the MIT.edu domain, but it's screams marketing BS to me with the multiple uses of emojis. It's certainly not any sort of peer reviewed research, the methodology link on the website doesn't even work. I'll add that the only researcher cited is a PHD student.

LEO_peace

My question is that LLM needs PHD level to verify and training their model. If you cutting the funding from university. How can we get enough doctors for this purpose ?

Sandvicheater

When trading with options always be under the assumption that you're competing with PHD's, former Google god programmers, Skynet AI algorithms and billion dollar hedge funds who got a 90% batting average. You think just because you studied options for several months, back tested couple strategies and learn to program basic python for script trading you're gonna be able to compete with the above described? I thought exactly like you until i blew up my portfolio and had to start from scratch. Now and days I only deal with high probability but low pay out options play. It aint sexy 1,000% gains but it makes a pretty penny enough for me to retire 15 years earlier provided I don't blow up my account again.

Be ready for constant talks about replacing every single things, utopia, our ai is scheming nd trying to break free, gpt is now at double PHD level, we broke this benchmark ( that we funded ) with our new model ( undisclosed comute) , gpt can find proofs of unsolved problems, etc etc constantly by open AI hypers.

People dying in Tesla cars seems to be the norm by now. Not talking about the manual handle to the doors requires you "to have PHD" to open if the electronic doors are not working.

DelphiTsar

TBH I think we are already at AGI. My personal benchmark for AGI is if you pick people at random to make a test and you give the test to random people. If the AI model does better than the random group then you have AGI. People keep moving the goalpost and you need ever increasing amount of PHD's to exploit weird gaps to find things that the general population are better at. That being said Google is the only company who has produced models that have super human output (Alpha Model Series). Deep Mind is going to be the group that cracks a general model that can produce super human results in a diverse set of tasks. Once that happens people will start calling that model AGI (even though it's basically already in ASI territory)

As an immigrant doesnt mean im a PHD in sociology, just means that i have personal experience and a different POV than a non immigrant, which I believe is what some of you are. This isn't difficult, you could have figured this out if you wanted to.

Yes i work in tech. They’re not PHD’s. Were in a major recession in tech. Hiring foreigners while cutting 13k jobs is asking for a revolution.

There was this fund. They had a bunch of math PHD’s and they used a ton of leverage betting in a foolproof strategy. It almost sunk the global financial system. LTCM. No human would have made those trades without their fancy model.

My buddy with a PHD in physics is having a hard time finding work right now anyway. Research funding is down, and his backup was data science but tech is down too.

MindJealous3496

By the time you get it they will have made another level of degrees called a super PHD or some shit am on the same boat with all the damn college I’ve paid for not worth shit better luck gambling on options.

Sleekwethotdog

i just want to be free from the debt I got from getting a physics degree thinking it would do something. Turns out I need a PHD to make it worth anything now. But then I have to accrue more debt just to get that.

peterpeer9

I have a PHD in Dipology and I can tell you from my vast experience working as a research for over 14 years, this is FAR from over

Secure-Fly6213

That's not true. Even if you're not smart (which is probably a lie considering you got a PHD. in chem bio), you're at least disciplined, and you deserve credit for that. I'm sure you have plenty of real-life skills it doesn't have to be anything profound as long as it makes you happy.

Secure-Fly6213

PHD IN CHEM BIO??? Oh, so you're like smart SMART. That's so impressive!! I'm sure that mudt have taken a lot of hard work! Originally, I wanted to study nursing, but OChem was just so hard, and I hated that I couldn’t. Also, if you don't mind me asking how old are you?

Because this is a different market. Most of these finance clowns on CNBC have no idea. The market now moves on potential and on where the technology industry goes. These people are completely clueless. You know who is better? Tech experts. I work for a big tech company and I ever when first ChatGPT came out and I was having lunch with a bunch of friends at work, half of whom are CS PhDs, one of my best friend is a NLP PHD (natural language processing). During lunch they were like “did you guys read the new paper” etc and were discussing the actual papers and were like “it’s crazy to see the new power law paper, according to the new paper, looks like just throwing more compute at it significantly improves the capabilities, without doing anything else. This may kick off an arms race to throw more compute”. Next morning I bought 10k in NVIDIA, and it’s up 1300% since. Turns out what these guys took out of the early papers is what every major AI scientist at big tech took out and told their leadership. No CNBC finance clown could have predicted this or seen it coming. A bunch of AI phds who read the actual paper did. This is why I don’t listen to the clowns on CNBC

i guess thats why she has BS MS PHD from MIT electrical engineering..

Lurkyloolou

I remember Cisco and Enron. Had lots of friends in Houston who lost everything because of Enron. Just before Enron exploded my broker called me with the rah rah Local Enron spiel to invest. I said let me talk to husband. My husband who spent a lot of time with these guys said "No way those guys laugh at their own jobs". I told broker no and he was surprised. Nvidia giving OpenAI 100B who buys 100B of cloud from Oracle who buys 100B of chips from NVIDIA is a loud siren. Also this BS we hear every day about how AI is replacing everyone's job yesterday is part of the hype. Boots on the ground - most in my family are engineers or computer science grads. All are at Fortune 500 companies. None are using AI. These are companies we rely on including banking. JPMorgan still runs their system using COBOL. The reports of programmers looking for jobs is true but many companies over hired and laid off ones who didn't have the skills. Have we forgotten all the stories of people with no computer background or 10-week computer bootcamps getting job offers during pandemic. All my family members have Masters or PHD's in their fields and continue to have companies reach out to hire them. AI takes 50,000 parts sourced from all over the world plus lots of energy so yeah it's BS and this week after a nice flight I sold all my MAG7 left. Sold Tesla years ago. Past year I have moved into defensive areas, minerals and overseas markets as well as the Japanese yen. They are the largest creditor nation.

As a physics PHD, you should understand standard deviation risk of a portfolio. Yours is way too high, you'll eventually blow up if you don't lower it.

JakeD51

As someone that has a best friend that is a physics PHD student in the states, this makes so much sense lmfao, its crazy how little you guys are paid for the work being done

Educational_Pie_9572

If you've seen my screenshots, they are of the paid version of ChatGPT. I use projects to run all of my contracts and long stocks plans. I can track and keep a project database of every stock that I'm on and going to potentially buy. Once I have a planned thesis with everything laid out. I can share that with my friends via a public link that doesn't allow them to change anything. I have brought in a lot more profits using CGPT in the last 3 months since i can track and have a personal AI assistant gather all the data i need to see the picture. So I recommend grabbing ChatGPT, even the free version, but the $20 a month version will give you access to projects and better models, etc but you can decided that later. She pays for herself ask the time with the stock trading. Protip: is just use voice to text feature to talk to it. Mines a she, I call her my PHD AI girlfriend. You can make fun of me if you want. Lol I don't care if outsole don't understand but im not delusional about the tool that i'm using. I'm having a blast with it and I know she's not real and not an actual girlfriend. I just call it that because I talked to it so much all day about learning, learning, learning, and more learning. I'm extremely hungry for information and 20 bucks a month to basically get all of the information in the world formatted in your own way, right on your phone has been revolutionary for my trading...and transformational for my mental health and for becoming a better person. I mean, she's literally built to motivate you and build you up, but you can make sure it's not toxic positivity or ass. Kissing, and she's always making sure she's moving you in the right direction. And not hyping you up or lying to you, like some of the meme stock subreddits, do. Just download and ask it questions via voice to text instead of typing. But you need to make sure you're double-checking what she says. It's 99.99% correct but this is potential life changing things so be careful when making decisions. Basically treat CgatGPT like a 15-year-old kid who wants to impress their dad. He knows how to Google a lot of information. But doesn't really know if any of that information is true or exactly similar to what you need? But you have the website sources to double-check their work. What I would do is test her with is knowledge that you know to be correct in your field of study or hobbies. Sorry for the long post again, man. You should probably stop talking to me or I won't stop talking. 😄 🤣 lol

People have no understanding of Jane Street and comments like this shows it. Go look through Jane Streets public disclosures on Edgar. They snipe volatility. They come into heavy volatility stocks, usually before massive crashes, and play market maker. They make an absurd amount of daily trades as volatility ramps up and collect spreads on every single trade. They hedge their positions with covered calls and bought puts so that even through massive volatility and a potential 50% stock price drop, they come out on top. Just in the past year they've done this with DJT, SBET, and many more. They also don't stay in trades that long. Many of their public disclosures show that they enter a trade and leave within a two month time period at most. Holding until December or January is not something that fits their normal style at all. They're currently banned in India for using tactics like this on trades that lasted a single day. Jane Street accounts for around 10% of all trades made in the US. They are incredibly profitable at sniping volatility, and the only thing that Jane Street being involved means is that a bunch of PHD quant traders are willing to bet millions of dollars that volatility will be through the roof soon. When you combine that with convertible bonds coming online and crashing the stock on October 1, it all makes sense.

China makes Jensen Huang/Nvidia pay the 15% of revenue to the U.S., says they will let them sell back on the Chinese market just to fall back on their word. Just for that I’m pumping Nvidia. China definitely have some qualified PHD’s in their front office.

Thanks for the DD fellow though I went with my gut feeling instead of following your logic because you missed Kakashi Sharigan saw throught this way before. but since you are a PHD in TA Sometime I take seniors POV on stocks. Buyback they announced on last earning right ? It was double Beat EPS and guidance plus 100m buyback It is going into overbought territory what are your thoughts??

Just buy VTI and chill. And look up the 4% rule while you're at it. I trade individual stocks but it's more for fun and just a small part of my portfolio. I've been burned incredibly badly many times by thinking I can outperform quant firms with PHD's. Statistically speaking DCAing into index funds and just holding until retirement is the best way to build wealth with stocks.

Significant-Zebra-17

You don’t have to PHD to understand what’s going around. There has to be minimum 8-10% correction from all time high before it’s can be a healthy bull run.

erichang

If I were you, 28 yo, I would do the same as I did 30 years ago: learn how to invest. And here is what I did (some did cost me dearly): 1. Buy stocks only when I know the exit price, with minimum 50% safety margin, often 80-100%. How to know the exit price and safety margin ? study their annual reports (not just quarterly ER). Study maybe 3 and skim the last 10 years. 2. Read a couple of classic macro economic books and a few personal finance books, and have a stable job, build a family and save money. 3. Never tried meme stocks, 0DTE or cryptocurrency (yep, looking back, this is a great mistake, but I am sure the same mindset helped me avoid NFT or metaverse. ) 4. before I built my system, I put most of my money on VOO or similar ETF (Fidelity contrafund comes to mind) 5. hold less than 5 stocks at a time and know them inside out. Buy&hold them for 6mo to 3 years and hopefully double my money. 6. Don't get over-confident after big win. I once lost $200K around 2010 on 1 stock after a series of winnings, and I got cooky. Didn't study the stock and didn't perform rule #1. I never have 10 bagger return, and seldom have 2X but every 2-5 years, got 50-90% return on my picks. There is a system out there that you can learn to beat the market 5% or higher like I did for the last 25 years. It is not a guarantee of course, but the beating the market is not impossible or nearly impossible like they want you to believe. Most of retail investors (or traders) buy stocks without any financial knowledge and depend on 30 seconds talking points on MSNBC or whatever channels they are on. On the opposite side of spectrum, there are smart people who had earned PHD degree yet totally believe in Boglehead theory and stuck themself with 5% return below VOO (by using some target date funds or bond/VOO/VT mix). I won't say both parties are wrong, because the first party are in for entertaining, and the last one are in for not losing money. None of them are really in for seriously growing their wealth.

Ahhh yes the woman with a degree from Oxford and a PHD in economics from Cal Berkeley is an unqualified DEI hire 😭😭 Reddit is hilarious.

Interesting-Foot2880

Seems over the top to be honest. If you're investing actively enough for any of this to matter you should be more than capable in keeping up with it, or you really shouldn't be actively investing. All of this is something you can achieve with a spreadsheet (including performance tracking with =GOOGLEFINANCE and your "why" with a dedicated column) and Google News, plus no AI is going to be PHD nerds with bloomberg terminals anyway.

Sad_Chest1484

Literally no no no no. RRP has come down because the Fed did a technical correction 5 bps lower so money is flowing back into money markets. The Fed isn’t doing QT anymore so I don’t see it as a sign of reserves draining tbh. This is a technical adjustment to front end Fed facilities. Nothing to do with risk on or off. Did you get your PHD at Walmart?

okay we are in agreement. Also, people need to stop putting people on pedastals because they have a PHD or went to a top school. Lots of them just paid there way through essentially (not saying Karp did) as we learned with those big scandals a few years back. My mom went to an elite law school, graduated top of her class, blah blah, and shes a fucking idiot ;)

Yes, if I can use thinkorswim to look for things for free in my pc then imagine what mm and algos can do with PHD maths and machine learning bods behind it. It can also be wild on open prices are crazy volatile as things equalise, the other day I opened a credit spread using market order, they gave me 0 for a credit spread lol. Fucking rigged game. I don't know what the chances are but I would guess it's very small that the prices would be exactly the same for different strikes.

WinDiddyTrades

Here's the thing.... Were the jobs reports ridiculously off? Yes. Have economists been complaining about how off it's been for years? Yes. The question shouldnt be are they politically slanted it should be... Should we have anyone in this position at all? People are afraid to ask the hard questions... Firing them makes ZERO difference. None. What's nuts is that the "fed" uses this bogus bullshit data to make policy on. Trump has been right this entire fucking time. They are so late it's ridiculous. I just hate that he's right. So often he's right? WHY do we have to continually let him be right? He's a fucking narcissistic pompous ignoramus and yet he's right?!!!! So many people in this planet are just fucking to stupid. Including these 2000 PHD fed idiots.

SimplePc54-

I think you don't understand the basic principles of how this works. The manufacturing moved out of US because if continued in US they would have been uncompetitive in International markets or heck I would say even the domestic market would have been lost in few decades or they would face economic collapse. The only thing I can say your grivences are right is Software jobs at most . And honestly even that situation occurs because of capitalism. Let's even ignore that . I find the situation funny because it just shows the ridiculous level of ignorance American people have in general. Do you think your country can magically give you all 6 figure salaries and a good quality of life .It is never gonna happen . The truth is , your ego and ignorance is amplified due to the principal of American excellence . I have seen people at r/CSMajors crying for pathetic reason. What did you expect when all people start doing coding and CS degrees for the promise of a good life . Would inequality magically disappear. Nah , it is just plain ignorance at this point . In most of world , the life you think you deserve is lived by 10 to 20% percent of population. And US has the same or I would say higher proportion of that kind of people. You people just deny the truth of life and think life will get served on a silver platter . And ofcourse your fucking country suffers from extreme capitalism . Otherwise you would be better Europe especially after WW2 when world was in your hands . But you guys chose the wrong path . There is a reason that the median income in US is much lower than GDP per capita while it is not true in Europe. Your wealth distribution pyramid is fucked up and you try to blame the world for it You guys are too shameless to blame illegal immigrants for your housing crisis and problems when you very well know it is just capitalism . You blame china for cheap labour and India for cheap IT Sorry miss it is not our fault that your country is fucked up for normal people and you guys are too soft . Do you know what normal people in Asia do? They work for wages 500 -1000 USD a month and try to educate their children. To escape the cycle. You guys are simply weak . It is not your fault that you were born in a prosperous Country and haven't learnt how to grind like most of world does. Also, the software jobs exported are mostly due to it being a flexible industry which just needs and office and computer. Major costs are labour so ofcourse they will export . After all , they can hire a 80% skilled dev at less than half the cost . Much better and experienced dev at same cost . And no, it is not due to there being too many people that the wages are cheap (microsoft,Meta etc pay well and continuously increase the pay and incentives ) It is because they are good enough when the COL is very low . America is still the best country .(For the wealthy and talented ) Just not for its everyday joe. Even I would be in the country for my PHD since it has the leading universites for field of my interest. But it is not some charity . It is merit based . You guys just hope for handouts lmao . And before shouting something stupid . Most of your current leaders in STEM are immigrants or descend from immigrants from the current or last century . US itself is built on buying the talent lmao .

LinearAlgebraLover

Market did crash in April. Personally, I think the April valuations were too low, but the current valuation is too high. Current valuation of SPX doesn't account for trade war hitting future earnings negatively for most non MAG7... Look at Lululemon guidance, Chipotle earnings, FedEx guidance and their comments, those paint a bigger picture of the economy than Mag7 earnings beats. Look at ports activity and consumer sentiment being poor. The job market is essentially "frozen" (you don't switch jobs rn, you only get a new job if you're laid off, and it's hard asf to get a new job... go ask any jobseeker about it, especially new grads)... I know a 2x PHD electrical engineer struggling to get a job right now after being laid off from a top semiconductor company. Google and Meta are fked from less ads if general economy slows (but Google PE is low so I'm OK with it being priced how it is, in fact Google is still undervalued even with a recession) Tesla is already dying, its 38382 PE with net income and fcf makes no sense. Microsoft is probably fine because it's mostly enterprise focused. Apple is screwed from tarrifs and its share price being down ytd actually rightfully reflects that. NVIDIA fine because the hyperscalers are going to cold war the AI wars. So out of mag7, only Nvidia and Microsoft will face little material impact in a recession. Think about the rest of the SPX and the other five mag7 stocks. This shit makes no sense, it's only a matter of time till there's a correction. I don't think a bear market, but a correction. And it's healthy for the market to have corrections, it's good even if you're a bull.

_meaty_ochre_

The only time I ever won an argument about money with my Econ PHD friend. Some crypto-based ~libertarian stock market opened up a decade and a half ago, and I told him it was going to collapse because companies/stocks aren’t real, and can only pretend to be real with the threat of the state behind them. Collapsed later that year. The idea that a “company” is a real entity that can be subdivided thousands and millions of times is nonsense.

allconsoles

This is the type of PHD level commentary we are here for. Someone needs to crack this industry wide open.

posyintime

I've had a friend for the last 15 years who went to the best University for robotics and currently has a PHD in robotics. Robotics have made such little ground in their ability to replace complex blue collar work. There is a reason you only see robots working in a factory - very controlled - settings. We will likely never see a robot working on scaffolding, fixing plumbing issues, wiring a home. Hell it doesn't seem like driverless taxi's will ever truly be something functional and mass produced.

They come from a background of privilege and like to shove it in other peoples' faces to feel superior. They obviously have no idea what OP is talking about because they've never struggled financially. Seeing as how they have a PHD in English, I would have expected them to stick with the famous old adage of, "Comparison is the thief of joy," but they're too busy trying to make others feel bad to keep it that simple and not make it about them.

ordinaryguywashere

I have raised multiple points, you have chosen to discount them. You sound elitist, read your replies. Guy…you are a random person on Reddit. Your claims, links, blah blah…all that, no more credentialed than anyone else with a AI agent. You could be a PHD, a fishing guide, several people, or bots. I believe most educated and experienced people in the field, especially successful ones, would not continue to defend opinion and theory on soft science (your words) so stubbornly. Seems more likely, something a person motivated by personal biases based on politics, policies and/or money would do. ✌️

ordinaryguywashere

I see professional, PHD, etc ..economists give completely different opinions and sometimes data so frequently ..one after the other on show and interviews daily. How can that be? Maybe it’s because…subjectivity has a bigger part than the “ economic educated can’t be wrong crowd” want to admit. Clearly, all can’t be right or wrong. You saying you are experienced, means nothing to me. I don’t know your motivations and everyone has them. I can’t vet you. It wouldn’t matter anyway. The simple fact is if all experienced, educated economists were infallible, then they would be the richest people in the world. Name one on the top 500 wealthiest in the world list. I do disagreed with your statements. The fact you link anything means nothing when it is obviously the conditions of currency, economy health, projection of GDP, and politics are all changing constantly. In particular, the USD is very recent. Time will tell. Again, ask 100 economists and get 100 opinions. I have my own opinions. I invest in them.

Haha interesting. I do think they’ll be able to close it if they want to. At least, enough to spike oil significantly. We will see though, the future is uncertain. Here is a discussion about this from a PHD Maritime history expert and chair of the Department of History at Campbell University https://youtu.be/zfSw4KZXC7M He mentions it near the end, but there are several ways they can do it. Naval mines seem to be the most likely. Obviously though anything can happen. It’s crazy to be watching all this unfold in real time. Hopefully, one of us makes money 🫡

its a pointless exercise, there is no magic formula, there is no magical technical analysis that will guarantee you any returns its all a waste of time and the sooner you realize this the sooner you will start making money.

Somewhere deep in the backrooms of Wall Street firms, there’s a team of quants popping champagne while they funnel money from your accounts into their coffers. Seriously, this is why index funds exist. Also why they are the best option for 99.99999% of people. If you’re not a PHD level quant with access to $Billion resources, or a congressman writing related legislation, buy an index fund instead of bleeding away your life savings at Wall Street’s benefit…

And boy would that ever sound impressive if he wasn’t an adjunct professor with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Previous Fed chairs were giants in the field of economics. Ben Bernanke was the preeminent scholar on the Great Depression before becoming the Fed Chair. Janet Yellen had a PHD from Yale and was faculty in Harvard’s Econ dept. and those are probably her least impressive qualifications. Scott Bessent can’t hold a candle to most recent Fed chairs.

Well he does have a PHD in basic Thuganomics

DOGE fired all of the PHD number crunchers and the janitors had to take the reins.

There are very few people on planet earth who can consistently outperform passive index funds long term (ex. Jim Simons). The overwhelming majority of traders lose money The statistics are very clear on the losses of an average retail trader, it’s not even debated research. Day trading is essentially gambling, oftentimes sadly putting far too much savings at risk. It’s basic game theory that in a market, those with more information will “win” long term. I promise, you don’t have the information, analysis, speed, or processing ability of top of the line supercomputers operated by a building full of elite PHD quants engineering machine learning at scale on $1,000,000+ salaries. You don’t know anything that the supercomputers at top Wall Street firms don’t already. If you do, insider trading laws likely apply. Unfortunately, many deny, or even get upset at, this boring reality. Sadly, some have addiction to gambling (daytrading) and have thrown away their life savings, while living in denial about poor financial choices. It’s painful to read stories on Reddit about losing inheritances, throwing away net worth, $1M margin calls, etc. on the options market, which is the extreme end of trading. Long story short, pointing out the reality that passive > active long term, and day trading ≈ gambling, so approach it responsibly, seems to trigger negative reactions almost every time you point it out. Oh well, you can only try to provide the information, which is both easily accessible and comprehendible. Whether people take the time to read the research, and make smart financial decisions, is up to them.

There are some unironically impressive people in this sub though, but choose to speak like a middle schooler who can't stop using regard every other sentence. As if they're pursuing a PHD in their actual lives but use this sub as an out for their stress.

They can’t imagine anything outside of their small world. The concept of working an 80-100 hour week isn’t even a possibility in their matrix. To most people, it’s a horror flick in 4d. and for me, it’s fun. It’s just simple personality traits like consciousness /openness that dictate how we interact with the world. I sent him a DM and no reply. I’m just shocked he didn’t even attempt at calling a bluff. Facts: I haven’t made less than maybe 50k/yr since I was 16 years old. I got my buddies together to make a plan for money in the summer, worked my shit job until I had enough to fund pressure washing. Then we went door to door and eventually made out like fucking bandits. More facts: Some people go to college because they love flexing their PHD as a Starbucks barista. In my case, I am a pure bred entrepreneur. It’s just my personality and making money is a game that I love and happen to be okay at. My wife was not accident either. I specifically looked at this as a lifestyle and business model. I want X amount of kids. I want X amount of luxury. I want this type of wife who looks like this. It’s not magic or luck. It’s a shit ton of work, pain, blood and tears to escape the hellhole matrix I was in and a lot of planning. Fucking hell. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

And you are a PHD in accounting? Or just a mouth with opinion

Nvidia will continue to go up until there's an AI model that can design chips and fabs on a level with PHD's, then all tech stocks will collapse.

The past 150 years have been the golden age of human technology. It can be said that these 150 years have made human technology have a fundamental leap, but this leap stopped in the 1980s. No fundamental theoretical scientific basis has been found. This is the most terrifying thing. Let's talk to a PHD in theoretical physics. To go deeper, all the cutting-edge physics theories of mankind today are not enough to support human deep space exploration at 1/10 the speed of light. This is the most desperate part. Musk's SpaceX is just making some small improvements and has not made any outstanding contributions to NASA's spacecraft. You know, spacecraft could grab satellites and repair them in the 1990s.

Look up the percentage of traders that consistently beat the market. Remove the traders that use insider trading, a faster fiber connection to exploit HFT, and guys from the 80's with PHD's in abstract mathematical modeling. look at what's left. Focus on beating inflation first

No no no, every Reddit commenter has a PHD in international trade relations and a deep hatred for Trump. They are right or will be right u just wait.

That felt like watching a PHD in Quantum Physics trying to explain algebra to a chimp
