The Economist recently published an asinine op-ed piece, warning the danger socialist Gen Z places the wealthy in. The Economist issued a grave warning and called for resistance to this “brand of leftism.”
I quickly wrote a short response essay on the article. I then sent it to friend Michael and said, “Do what you want with it; we’ll both take author credit.”
So, Michael tripled the length and made my short piece a serious piece of analysis.
