Was not aware of this, but it lends some context to her coconut tree statement. Had a Marxist vibe, just… Oddly delivered. Though, tbh, it made me like her a little more.

Cool, I’m not familiar with that field, but it sounds interesting.

His 1978 book Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution critiques mainstream economic theories, using mathematical modeling to propose an alternative model for thinking about the effects of capital accumulation on income inequality, economic growth, instability, and other phenomena. He has worked extensively on analysis and policy regarding the economy of Jamaica.[2] He served in Jamaica, at various times, as economic policy consultant to the government and as economic adviser to successive prime ministers.[3][4] On October 18, 2021, he was honored with the Order of Merit, Jamaica’s National Honor award, “for his outstanding contribution to national development”.[5]

Sounds like a cool dude.

Also, fun coincidence that he has the same first name and middle initial as Trump.

If he is smart enough to be into marxist economics and understand it. All while raising a woman the right way and not ditching her and she goes on to be a prosectur, senator, and VP I say hey more power to him. If I had a kid I would read them at night the history of the world so they understand when they get older. But not really going to have kids because I move every 6 to 3 months depending on the contract.
