Economy
Related: About this forumSo I created a Facebook page...
That IMHO is Frank Luntzian brilliant in its short concise name that uses emotion.
My idea for this page is to have it quietly gain steam (followers) and then go viral in 2016
I am here because it is about economics.
IMO we have to educate people about economics if we want to win more than national elections and elections in blue or purple states.
I also own the domain that is the name of this Facebook page.
Are there activists in this group that can see the utility of social media in this endeavor.

(8,718 posts)do I think make some money on advertising.
I am looking for partners in this endeavor, as I am sure pages like I Acknowledge Class Warfare Exists have multiple admins
My skills are in graphics so I can crank out JPG memes. I made the Stiglitz one in the photos section and saw how getting it to an admin for I Acknowledge Class Warfare Exists, who then posted it as a status update caused an exponential increase in shares and likes.

(8,718 posts)But is is because of my employer. And because most sites switched to Facebook commenting to get rid of trolls. It is a lot harder to create new accounts with FB for the purpose of continued trolling despite being banned for trolling.
I compare Facebook to a bee hive. We liberal bees are buzzing and our activity transmits outward.
Most liberals have a variety of friends. When someone who reflexively votes Republican realizes that what they have been hearing about those "libs" is a crock, they see the Conservative Entertainment Complex has no credibility.

(8,718 posts)I see this as a place to disseminate information on economics.
While I can write about econ, I don't truly have the right kind of brain for econ. Art brain rather than math brain
