Is Cartel condescending ?

I don't know. I am generally paranoid about people making slight of me . This has been acquired through long and arduous pavlovian experiences. So I am not the best judge of human behaviour.
However I think that cartel benefits lots of ignoramus like me, by mixing economy with snark. Thus provoking my interest in economics, so it is good, in a twisted way ofcourse.
And if they are contemptuous , so what ? That's what voodoo doll and shaman is meant for.
