Do y'all now see why I talk so much about how it is bad that economists are mostly white men? When I say that economists everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE.
Most companies have economists on staff, which is why diversity in the profession is absolutely necessary.

#EconTwitter so the takeaway here is that economists do more than just study the economy.
And as someone who stumbled into this field, I will do my very best to share all that I know about economics and how it can be used to make the world a better place.

#EconTwitter Also, although economists sit in these spaces, they are not the (sole) experts.
Case in point: While some economists are studying COVID-19, none of them should be assumed to be experts on epidemiology itself because there are actual epidemiologists. #epitwitter

lol some of these quote tweets are confusing:
1) I'm not coming for the OP at all, just used it as a jumping off point
2) the point of this thread is to bring awareness of what the hell economists can do
