when you gotta watch crash course again because all your classes are online and nothing makes sense

Actually I'd rather do crash course than do all of my online classes honestly¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sameee dude lol
@Liberty Broadway ?
Word😂
ECONOMICS is the study of people and choices.
OPPORTUNITY COST is whatever you give up to do something.
SCARCITY is the tension between infinite wants and finite resources.
INCENTIVES is a set of external (rather than intrinsic) motivators that explain people's choices.
MACROECONOMICS is the study of production, employment, prices, and policies on a nationwide scale.
MICROECONOMICS is the study of how consumers, workers, and firms interact to generate outcomes in specific markets.
Thanks man, I needed 3 of these since my teacher said it's a homework we gotta do XD
THANK YOU! I honestly couldn't even read the definitions because they were too blurry.
God Bless
gracias
OMG TYSM helped a lot
I’m 38. I never graduated high school. Got into a a relationship at a young age. Had 4 kids with him. Fast forward. He was abusive but he got still got the kids because he lied in court. Fast forward. Finally stopped feeling sorry for myself, got over my depression, got saved, fast forward I’m 2 classes away from finishing my high school diploma and going to college next. Economics is one of the 2 classes left. I can’t believe I never took this class. It’s literally changing my life for the better.♥️ God Bless.
Glad to hear your life's turning around for the better! Take care of yourself and good luck with school!
inspiring. thank you
You go girl. God bless you more 💙
That is actually amazing. Us high school students are cheering you on.
im not in an economics course, im just here out of curiosity. its such an important part of society that i want to know how it works. anyways to everyone doing this for a class good luck :)
@Universalis Ted lol hater
My entire life, I didn't smoke, I always applied sunscreen before going outside, I was conscious of what I ate, and I exercised regularly. Now none of that matters because the comments gave me cancer.
This was a great comment. A+
Sweet "T" sunscreen is unhealthy
loooool
Sweet "T" lolllllllll
By saying that i hope you actually get it.
I swear this channel is a gift to mankind
and womenkind
actually nvm, we prefer peoplekind

How about *_HUMANITY_*
*Taking economics this year, PREPARING EARLY*
Same. I don’t want to fail.
Man they scheduled me for AP Econ 💆🏽♀️💆🏽♀️
@@jakylabrooks1811 You considering being a economist one day or nah?
Economists education is to help to solve problems.
dude same
5 years later and I've rewatched this entire series multiple times and am still delighted by how well these two get along and work together.
Entrepreneurship and establishing a business should have its own crash course series.
Yes! That would be great!
That would be awesome.
oh look, they have a full series about economics! how convenient.
A better alternative would be to read book on it. Most people on the Internet who talk about Entrepreneurship have no credibility to be talking about it in the first place.
I agree!
I'm looking forward to ignoring the comment section almost as much as I'm looking forward to watching this series.
FunkyHonkyCDXX Negative comments always go to the top on youtube because everyone wants to reply to them. It creates an atmosphere of negativity that is not conductive to real discussion.
FunkyHonkyCDXX I can already tell a fair few will be "Blaah this video was only watchable because of the Muppets"
Twirble They really need to bring back functionality to the downthumb button and bury comments that get a high ratio of down to up.
Dave Power #6 Thank you!! I never understood why 'thumbs up' comments got counted votes, but 'thumbs down' never did. Why?
Dave Power #6 amen!
..."That computer you bought"...
Me: "how did he-"
Also me: "oh"

The video starts at 1:52 you're welcome
+BIack Doug lol thx
+BIack Doug you're the man
ok
thank yoy
Thank you!
is it weird that i'm watching this for fun instead of studying? D:
naw man, you are AMAZING (y)
Not really
Yo me too though
Why not both? :3
Ha, I'm avoiding homework by watching this. I don't even have an economics class.
Coronavirus hits and I would like to repeat “those air craft carriers could be hospitals and roads.”
Same here
@Marcus White lol, accident? Yeah right. I believe its intentional.
@Marcus White Thats wrong the US Healthcare system is shitty but also extremly expensive
Though the benefit would only improve are most recent use
Love the entire series as well as the individual videos Clifford does. He not only made it possible to pass Economics in college, but I use these videos to help reinforce the material for my own students. That way they have them for when they get home, and may become confused about a concept.
I'm 17 and the muppets intro actually soothed my internal outcry against the Green brothers not being present...
I don't care that I'm 27. I wanted the muppets to teach me O_O

"it's not easy being green." -a great man, err puppet
Same!!!
Hahaha
"Who's gonna walk to the gym?"
This is your brain on America.
Our hunter ancestors would not approve.
Haha truth. But then if we walked to places would we even have gyms?
I bike 👋
Damn you right unless you're weight lifting
@@Aaron-wq3jz Not really. Unless you are some sort of high level athlete that needs to perfectly balance their energy.
On easy days I run before lifting weights and it doesn't affect my training too much.
Revisiting this after years, recently finished my exams (textbook stuff) and just realised how good this is! This is so refreshing! I love the out of box and real life application stuff!
Over the next 40 weeks? I have 32 hours to learn everything for my Econ midterm.
Personally, I don't find anything really wrong with this video. It provided a quality and informative description regarding the background nature of economics and what is generally expected to be tackled on in this course which I believe is the main purpose on why this video was made after all.
This guy speaks so fast that I gotta play back everything 😂
Yes
You can slow down the video by going to "Settings" (located next to the "CC" icon on the bottom of the video). Click on the "Settings" icon and choose the "Playback Speed" options. I suggest you choose the 0.75 speed option because the 0.5 option makes the people sound like they are drunk.
You just have to listen faster
Just put the subtitle on, screenshot each second, and play it on PowerPoint
Just use your personal time stone, and then use your tardis to go back in time and listen to the audio again. Much easier than playing it back constantly.
This crash course made economics sooo approachable for me, eased me into the stock market and literary changed my life. This fact this knowledge is free is a godsend. I HAVE to donate to this channel.
Jacob and Adrienne, please ignore all these hateful comments. I literally did not feel one negative feeling towards anything in this video. I seriously can not understand what is so bad about this video. It covered everything my Economics teacher did, but it didn't take 45 minutes, so I don't get why people are complaining that you aren't teaching anything yet. I needed this broad context, because I finally know why I need to study Economics: mainly to understand that life is satisfying my unlimited wants with limited resources, how to consider the costs of everything, and understanding how we need governments to keep incentives straight and also provide additional ones.
Just because you liked the video it doesn't mean other people did too. You having liked it is no reason for them to ignore criticism.
the content of the video is perfectly clear. nothing is confusing. it is taught at a good pace, considering that these videos are meant for people who are taking economics for the first time. half of the people watching this have taken it before, so that's why it may seem slow. visual aids are a nice supplement to the lecturing, and all the information is correct.
so why all the dislikes? oh, yeah. the hosts are "weird" and "annoying". people are criticizing them solely because they are different. that's like saying it's acceptable for the nazi's to criticize the jews and the crippled because they are not like them. please don't pass off the intolerance of eccentricity as "criticism"
True
I think its because if you just enter this course without prior knowledge then they do miss a lot of stuff
+
If someone explained economics like that to me in school, I might have studied it. Great job, guys!
I don't remember picking Economics as a subject and yet here I am, having a break down and hoping to god Crash Course will help me pass.
I'm so screwed...
Taking economics this year! And the next. And the next year after that. As well as the year after that.
*I'm majoring in economics*
Please say the rest of this series isn't going to be this patronising. I love economics, I love crash course and I really do try to give things a good chance before I switch off but I just couldn't make it past the section on opportunity cost without thinking that maybe this wasn't a great use of my time.
I have no desire to be mean or unkind and I have no doubt the presenters, script writers, editors, director and everyone else are brilliant people who work increadibly hard but this is just a huge shift in tone from the other crash course series. One of the assets of crash course is that it could be light hearted with great content without the usual talking down to the audience that you see in school/educational videos. Please don't lose that.
And thank you for all your hard work.
Dan Harrison seems such a shame. I'll certainly keep watching and hope it's just an into episode thing!
Dan Harrison #BringBackCraig
Dan Harrison enough wheezy waiter, I like the hosts that they have chosen
danny sulyma I could get used to them If they would slow down a little bit they talk a little fast for my liking
Stephen Richmond This show is designed for people who know very little of the subject, whatever they are speaking about. I have taken several economics courses and this was all stuff I learned in the first couple classes, but I still thought it was a well put together video. Personally I am happy to see this out as I think economics should be mandatory education.
Whaaat? They have Muppets! How do they have Muppets??
Raina Ramsay Didn't you know the muppet guys do a lot of stuff on UA-cam, including cooperate with other youtubers. For instance they are everywhere.
I did not know that! That makes my life better.
Raina Ramsay I believe CPB (like PBS and NPR) have stepped into a corporate sponsorship role with Crash Course. Which considering all the sponsors that could be that isn't the worst it could be... Statler and Waldorf clearly need their heckle box or park bench... or something!
Thunderwalker87 the crash course guys have certainly proven their value to the community, I for one am glad to see them get plenty of sponsorship opportunities.
I would fucking love professor honeydew teaching me economics
Im in my first ever Microeconomics class and i am so grateful for this video series right now
I loved economics as a subject back in high school. It’s so interesting, I loved this video
Few awesome things about this channel is... 1) Very well scripted 2) Very well presented 3) Very well explained. 4) Very well compiled. Thanks for sharing knowledge!!!
You guys did read that this was intro right? Every intro class I've ever seen aims to butter you up before they hit you with the hard stuff. And besides, what's wrong with the muppets showing up? Were they too distracting for you? Whatever. I'm excited for this anyways!
when your GCSEs get cancelled, so you have 5 months to do whatever tf you want, but you're taking econ for A Level without doing it at GCSE, so you decide to get ahead bc you have nothing better to do.. ;)
on ur side hehe
Fr
what same omg
rosanna marriott same r u prepared for it?😂
My school didn't even provide Econ for GCSe but I want to do it at A level. Any ideas on how I should catch up? How key was GCSE do you think?
Is it just me, or is this guy in every SINGLE ECON VIDEO, I literally cannot escape him
The title is flawed. This is the study of free market economy. They said they aren't pushing a liberal or conservative political agenda on us, which is correct. They are still pushing ideas on us though, being capitalism is good.
Even democratic socialists are capitalists. The Nordic countries have capitalist societies, just heavily regulated and taxed ones.
William Stockhecker Democratic socialism just like ice cream is water. There is more to it.
Capitalism is a type of economy where everything is privately owned, something far from the case in most European countries.
Jeroen Bollen
"Capitalism is an economic system and a mode of production in which trade, industries, and the means of production are largely or entirely privately owned." - Wikipedia. Key word = largely, not everything. Are you telling me Ikea and Husqvarna are not privately owned?
"The Nordic model (or Nordic capitalism) or Nordic social democracy) refers to the economic and social models of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands and Sweden), which involves the combination of a free market economy with a welfare state." - Wikipedia. free market = capitalist, with socialist welfare.
Jeroen Bollen Do you really have a better option, which actually works in reality? Capitalism on itself works just fine and natural, it is when strong elements of corporatism is mixed in to it or someone (like the state) goes in and bail out a loosing part (like a bank) things fuck up. Capitalism is at least the most innovative economic system when it works properly. Central planed socialism on other hand have time and time again failed to satisfy peoples real needs in a real world context. Mixed economic systems only work well when you let it play by capitalisms rules, where the state keeps its hands off, and are not trying to actively steer markets into crating something for which there are no real demand, or force it to "beat a dead horse". Regulations works best when they are general, absolute, but at the same time somewhat loose. There are on the other hand plenty of examples of "socialist" ideas benefiting greatly from the capitalist supply and demand system, creating innovative solutions as they go along often spontaneously, "sharing economy" for instance, is one such example... :)
William Stockhecker The only reason it says that on Wikipedia is because otherwise capitalism wouldn't exist. As such if something is largely capitalistic, we consider it a capitalism.
I can't believe people are actually complaining about the hosts, they are great! I am watching these again after two years and they remind me why I loved this subject in the first place ❤
Very recommendable course on economics. Easily understood, non-partisan; excellent. Thanks Crash Course, for the, as always, on various topics and with various hosts, entertaining education.
I’m glad my teacher made me discover this channel
I wonder why we didn't have economics in school, all this sounds extremely interesting!
School sucks, basically
yes me to
We had economics but I never paid any in the class. Kind of regret it now.
It sound interesting, but you have to remember that real economics quantifies everything. Meaning that everything said in the video has a mathematical equation and it can be sketched in a graph. That is economics. If you want to study economics or learn it in school you have to know that its just maths that can be applied in the real world. So you should like or at least be able to tolerate mathematics.
The school district I went to taught this, I took it freshman year.
I just started watching this Eco series and it took you 11 and so minutes what my teacher did in 3 sessions. I'm not saying my teacher did a bad job, but many of my classmates wouldn't have had such a hard time if you way were our teachers. I'm actually gonna share this with my friends, I know they're gonna love it so thanks for your hardwork and the quality content :D
I really liked this video, because for the first time in my Economics studies I understand why Economics is considered to be a social science.
The fact that these videos have a long list of Subtitles including Arabic makes me very optimistic and joyful. Angels exists... They make educational videos ❤️
Love for Saudi Arabia.
[AND WOMAN]
nope out
Yung Bueno Lol are you gonna cry?
Captain Planet he's a hero, gonna put pollution down to zero!
[Sorry but the song has been stuck in my head for the longest time ever, and I hope those who read this remember that song and have it stuck in their head as well.
Derek Duran Don't cut yourself on that edge.
Yung Bueno Why did they do that?
Yung Bueno wow you're... sexist.
this is so awesome! it didn't just add fun to economics,
it added more attractive and colorful pictures, which i dont find in my book
(i'm a bit of a visual learner, so yeah)
i'm looking forward to finishing this course
more power to you guys!
I cant believe im out here on summer break watching a video on economics... quarantine has me craving school now
That moment when your online teacher is useless and your textbook is bulky and boring so Crash Course becomes your actual teacher
On Rat Tails: during the this year's drought in the Philippines, rice farmers started to starve. Crops were dying, and so were the animals. (There was a mass shooting of farmers who rallied asking the government for aid.) Latern on in certain provinces, there was a bounty on rat tails. For every X number of rat tails submitted, they would be given Y kilograms of rice. The farmers submitted rat tails for rice, and then they roasted the rat bodies for meat. Just an example of how a failed incentive policy elsewhere worked under a different context.
Great point!!
Hey, that's really interesting!
Wow thanks for this great point!
Human ingenuity at its best. Someone will always figure out a way to get more profit. And others will follow suit.
Or you end up with a bunch of people breeding rats, who eat your rice and other crops. Smart humans indeed!
I'm only 90 seconds in and I'm already screaming "Fucking stop! Please stop!".
2 and a half minutes in and it's only getting worse... fuck me with a side of fries...
Know what? Nope. Fuck this. I'm out.
TheTundraTerror Did that work?
TheTundraTerror it can't be much worse than your profile pic
TheTundraTerror Just skip the first few minutes to watch the part where they talk about the subject, rather than introductions to the video.
bmin There's a reason it's called a first impression.
If you are judging the video (+ it's series) with a first impression that covers nothing about the video's title, sure I guess?
I love CrashCourse and all the material that you provide. I enjoy that you create content that is both informative and entertaining. I appreciated the introduction of opportunity cost and scarcity. The various examples and references are also smartly placed. Economics is one of my favorite subjects!
Love this video. You guys did a great job explaining everything and making the video fun at the same time! :) Excited to keep watching.
You guys are fantastic! I took a macroeconomics course in. college in spring and it was one of my favorite classes! It taught me that economics isn't a philosophy; it can be understood. Monetary policy and fiscal policy have real, measurable outcomes that can be predicted and explained, and the aggregate supply-aggregate demand model can show what the economy is doing at any time in simple terms. Thanks for doing this series and making it accessible to anyone who wants to learn it!
Please be balanced. Can you present both sides? I mean, not just the Keynsian/Krugman side. Mention the Chicago School/Milton Friedman side as well. Bonus points for the Hayek/von Mises side! :) Especially on the macro side, there is controversy. Don't gloss over it, please! That's where the fun and excitement comes in!
freesk8 probably not gonna happen unfortunately :(
freesk8 Unfortunately Crash Course has always leaned left it seems, I very much doubt they will mention Mises, maybe Hayek cause it's hard to ignore Hayek v Keynes when it comes to theory. Hopefully they will be objective, but basing on Crash Course itself and even on this video already, I very much doubt it.
Joe Barnas Why should they show "both sides" when one side is wrong? Objectivity doesn't mean giving credit to stupid ideas.
Joe Barnas How about we don't judge a series based off of the first episode? A lot of things can be "implied" without the writer noticing, and hopefully the comment section will allow them to see their mistakes.
freesk8 "Both sides", LOL.
A typical americanism. Everything have exactly two sides.
"walking home in the rain is worse than the teeny tiny chance of dying in a car crash"

Thank you CrashCourse! Your videos helped me a lot when I'm still studying in college way back 2014. And because of this course together with hard work and perseverance, I graduated with honors. Now I'm a public servant working in one of the national government agencies in my country and I'm planning to take Masters in Economics to further my knowledge and skills on economics 😊
I choose to be open minded and give them a chance.
Me too , I am high school student and book is lame , and teacher don't teach nicely , only gives maths questions, so even if a dog teaches me , I would go down for it ! , but they look pretty cool !!
Into third episode they lost me. we need just one person to be honest. Two people just confuses it all.
I am not watching this if it consistently has wrong-sounding muppets
Joey Burt If that's going to be this show's eagle punching, that will get very annoying.
I mean, they could hire the guys from Glove and Boots... =p
Johnson Taylor Woah calm down, that's a lot of rage over somebody saying they didn't like the muppet gag.
Edit: Joey Burt isn't implying that they owed him anything. He just said the Muppets were a deal breaker for him, I'm sure he doesn't expect Crash Course to get rid of it just because he doesn't like it. Also just because Crash Course is wonderful doesn't mean there aren't aspects of it that could use improving.
Johnny is on his period!
My teacher suggest this video and he said i must listen carefully! So while im listening to your video i write every single word so it took me 45mins and i learn the difference between macro and micro i also learn the incentives and cost thank u love u guys keep the good work!
I passed my macroeconomics class, but this video taught me more lol
Doesn't he look like Mark Cuban
Paul Thomas Yess
Discount mark cuban
@@horse433 mark Reuben😂
Mark Cuban and Athlean X combined
He is. Cuban cloned himself so he wouldn't have to follow normal economic principles of opportunity cost.
Thanks for putting in the hard work in making these videos and a shoutout to the awesome hosts. I look forward on taking the journey and learning all about economics. Being a neuroscience major this wasn't something that I studied and after watching the Green brothers they inspired me to learn more things outside of my field. Keep up the good work and thanks for providing free, insightful, and entertaining education to us. Cheers!
when i was taking economics i was miserable but here this video makes, all this sound extremely interesting! great job, i loved the video
These courses are so extremely entertaining.. Love your CrashCourse material. I have watched the entire economics playlist in order to study for my BEC exam for the CPA. I can only wish that you guys made a course for Accounting that way I can have fun studying for such a difficult exam. Enjoy all these vids! Thank you!
Clifford's going to be my micro/macro teacher this year at SPHS. hahaha
He is?
Yeah, lmao. He's taught at my school for years, but left last year to do this crash course stuff, and stuff for his own UA-cam channel. But now that he's done with that, he's coming back to SPHS.
Steven Waggoner Nice. I'm going to 7th grade this september so I'm just watching these vids to learn some things to increase my knowledge of various topics.
Going into my senior year. Good for you man!
Steven! What are you doing in the comments section? XD
Did you blow your whole 'Crash course economics' budget on the first episode with the muppets? Hopefully not ironically true.
+hcheyne I think that was just the jokes budget.
these vids from crash course video ARE SO HELPFUL!!! I'm grateful that this Channel existed!
Thank you so much for this video series and also your videos in general! I plan to do the economics crash course this month, just to learn something while I wait for uni to start again :D Though I study sociology and linguistics, this is so interesting, espacially to compare what I already know to what I learn here. Definitely will be back tomorrow for the next video, thank you so much for explaining all this in such a great and comprehensible way! Love from Germany! :)
There are channels and videos like these, and then there are videos like Anaconda by Nicki Minaj with 591 million views. Humanity deserves all it's crises.
So educational ! This series is pure gold ! Please cover more topics if possible :)
Actually, in my school, there's not many economics classes (just 2, including mine). Both teachers do a great job at keeping it free, it doesn't feel like a regular subject. The teachers leave it free and open, and it's up to us to catch the tail through our own interest, and that, I think, makes it very effective for studying.
You two are great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!
Mr. Clifford kinda looks like Mark Cuban, Billionaire.
Hyrum Diesen Yeah, I thought it was him
Thanks for doing this. I minored in economics but it's nice to have a refresher plus it's just fun. Reading let's say the WSJ or Financial Times and understanding the underlying concepts is awesome
This has solidified my passion for economics. And has reassured I'm majoring the right thing. Thank you
the 'if economics was biology' helped me so much because I understand those terms much better. thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH I LOVE U
Extremely interesting and useful video, thank you so much!!
Well imma say it, i didn't like the eek....specially twice.
Yeah That squeaking hurt my ears
hahahaaha i swear
That, and the explosion sound effects are the only reason I down voted the vid.
I thought something was wrong with my headphone the first time!
I love videos like this. I think I learn more when I watch videos like these than what I would in school.
You two make Economics fun! Thank you for having great humor!
My teacher is actually making us watch this video from home
You guys should do one that focuses on Entrepreneurship and business! That would be awesome!
This whole 13 seconds made me so excited to learn economics gahhhhhhhh cant wait
Hey ...i am so grateful for you and this channel and fhe whole team....
Yeah it have made us feel that economics is more about people and choices...before i used to think its only about money .
❤❤❤ Much Love from Nepal .
Good episode, well formulated, well presented. Just one or two things; could the guy talk a bit slower and clearer, he's sometimes hard to follow. Also, it's not nessecary to "act personable". Yes, this channel has a young audience but you can just be yourself as a presenter you don't have to put on an exaggerated persona to capture our attention. Cool that you're discussing economics though, very relevant :)
Anna Chris the guy's speaking got better near the end
Anna Chris I thought he also talked fast too!
Mr clif is known for talking too fast so that wasn't a surprise haha
Not an Econ student, I'm looking to maximize Muppets in my life
I appreciated the video. Thank you guys, can’t wait to watch the rest 👌🏽
I am a big advocate of the Austrian model and i thought compared to other videos on UA-cam this is actual fairly balanced! Well done.
"... Everything has a cost..."
*Audible note taking*
Jacob and Adriene, I must let you know that you are doing a wonderful job! It is true that I do not care who provides me information, as long as it's correct and I have something to learn (therefore the presence or absence of John Green doesn't interest me) but I have grown fond of you in mere minutes. This course is much much better than my high-school classes. I didn't find it too slow and it's engaging. Thank you!
You guys are very fun and explain stuff pretty well. I like both of you.
My Economics teacher makes me hate the subject and I always dread the class, she makes us take notes that are more like essays! Even when the answers in the Exam Papers are paragraphs. This actually makes me want to learn it!
Good video, plan to work my way through some of them. I'm a Geography student who has just started a course in International Economic History with no previous studies in either economics or history!
You might want to check out Geography Now. They make geography quite interesting. Or maybe it's because I simply find geography quite interesting.
Hi pals, it's Qermaq with an important message.These episodes are all in the can. If you feel like making directorial suggestions, such as telling people how to talk or act, don't bother. It's pointless clutter and no one wants to see that sort of comment anyway. Thanks, and DFTBA! :D
Qermaq Hope you're wrong!!!
Juliet Thomas Sorry, sugar. You eat what you're served.
jmw150 Now, see, that's a directorial suggestion. I am not going to fuck anyone tonight, as a matter of fact, not the least of whom is myself.
i love when my classes make me watch crashcourse vids
I loved this video! Great hosts and great delivery! 👍🏽
This is a small complaint but can you please not add "and women" into every quote that uses the word man from now on. Usually when someone uses the word man in the context of the quotes you showed it usually means is just another way of referring to the human race as a whole. It is almost never meant as a way to exclude women and I find that changing the quotes in this particular way to be both distraction from the quotes themselves and kind of pointless. I am not trying to start an argument here but this is just my opinion on this subject.
mattbenz99 I think that was just a nod at all the people who had been previously mad at crash courses lack of gender diversity. Like, don't worry, we heard you.
XxMcMuff1nM4anxX They could say just "people" or "human". I think it would be the best solution...
But I think that quotes should stay intact. :/
+JooJoona Yeah, I think that citing male and female separately is a bit sexist because it implies a difference in the subject (economics [ignoring any society preconcepts]) where no difference is to be found( this would be different if the subject was for example biology) and that is why I think that saying "people" is the best solution.(except in quotes, since they should be left intact)
mattbenz99 No one says I have dogs and bitches, we just say we have dogs. We don't say that Africa is full of lions and lionesses, we just say it's full of lions. Man is just a name for our species. Adding "and woman" is just stupid.
Alex Azazel Welcome to the Minitrue. We are here to educate and inform.
mattbenz99 Calm down everyone. I think they just put the "women" comment in for comedic purposes. Learning Economics can be boring. They're just trying to lighten the mood.
when you came here to study
*sees meme*
me
*this.. does bring a smile to my face*
Thank you Crash Course team. I'm from Bangladesh and am very happy to tell you that I arranged my first home based Econ tutorials to teach a bunch of 8th graders based on your vids. Hope this works out! Thanks again!
10:23 I really dig the Milton Waddams toon, nice touch.
