I'm listening to an #Econtalk episode where Russ notes that he finds calling something 'academic' insulting and he's not sure what it means.

Here's my take about what it means:
Something is interesting, but the person has no idea how to use it in their everyday life.

It’s odd hearing Scott Bessent on Meet the Press argue that higher prices are fine as long as wages grow faster—that’s essentially the same argument Biden’s team made. Especially rich coming from a team that insists Biden was economically inept. #EconTalk #TariffLife
