Sorry, lol.
Also, I don't actually know how good you are at Hearthstone. So making that jealousy claim I guess would an example.
This quote in particular though, is another example.
Making informed claims of things that are not proven but that the evidence strongly suggests is rationality, not stupidity.

Companies added jobs at a blistering pace in February, with a
notable shift away from the service-sector positions that have dominated hiring for years.Why would that be?
Firms hire for reasons other than policy-making
in a continuation of the last 1.5 years or so, you're both completely

Trump will probably point to the report as proof that his economic policies are working. (On Friday, he retweeted a Drudge Report tweet hailing the jobs number as “great again.”) That isn’t supported by the evidence. Hiring was essentially the same in February as it was in January, when President Obama was still in office, and represented a continuation of an existing pattern of steady job growth. The jump in wages was widely anticipated by economists following an unexpected slowdown in January, and the unemployment rate has been stuck in a narrow band just below 5 percent for most of the past year.
Even if the economy does start to change direction in coming months, it’s unlikely Trump or his policies will be the primary cause. Presidents in any case have little control over the economy, especially in the short-term. The government can (probably) help ease the impact of a recession, and bad policies can (definitely) slow down growth. And presidential policies on things like education, infrastructure and tax policy can have long-term effects, for good or ill. But presidents have little influence over the month-to-month ups and downs of hiring or inflation.
