The 17-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg truly seems to be getting under the Trump administration's skin.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin took a shot at the teen during a press conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland after she pleaded with world leaders to stop investing in fossil fuels.
"Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I'm confused," Mnuchin joked.
"After she goes to college and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us," he added.

On a muggy morning in July 2008, hundreds of customers stood outside IndyMac Bank branches in Southern California, trying to pull their savings from the lender, which was doomed by losses on risky mortgages.
Steven Mnuchin didnt know much about IndyMac as he watched the scenes on CNBC from his Midtown Manhattan office. But he immediately saw an opportunity and began figuring out how to buy the bank.
Regulators seized IndyMac, foreshadowing a vicious banking crisis. Six months later, Mr. Mnuchin and his investment partners acquired IndyMac with a helping hand from the U.S. government. The deal eventually earned him hundreds of millions of dollars in personal profits.

(4,490 posts)...maybe you shouldn't be shit talking someone's economics education.
Also, how amazing that a 15/16 year old girl can be such a thorn in the side of these people? They run the most powerful nation on the planet. She's a highschool kid. Incredible.

(5,434 posts)Perhaps you need to learn about Ecology, dude?
Economics without a population or planet to practice (abuse?) it on, is fairly meaningless.
But it's a deal. She learns about economics, and you learn about ecology. And you might be able to see each other's point of view.
I bet she is a faster learner that you, Munchkin man!
