    I like how every layman said that this is what was happening but in the moment you could find half a dozen ‘economists’ on national news networks explaining it as if it was all just normal and no one was benefiting from it. Economics is a fake science, it’s not even worthy of the title social science. It’s literally just learning how to justify rich peoples actions and nothing else.

      Economics is just astrology but for bros in business suits and without all the fun parts of astrology.

      Just like any other field of study, you can buy an expert pretty easily. It doesn’t mean Economics is fake. It Means those guys got paid to say that by someone like the US Chamber of Commerce. (Which isn’t a government agency, no matter how much they try to seem like one)
