This is also the step before the first. The entire foundation of neoliberal economics is literally built on “well, uh, the real numbers didn’t make the model work so I made up these fake numbers that made it look nice, at least. Don’t worry, they’re intuitively correct!” and pure vibes.
Yeah its very funny to get lectured about the '“cost” of things from people who base their entire discipline on not factoring in environmental externalities while staring at an undeniable climate catastrophe
Which gets jokerfying when I remember they stuck us with the bill for fixing it so they didn’t actually make any money they just socially engineered a system where they got to live like kings before the ticket hit the register.
The “dining and ditching” school of economics lecturing us about how we’re a bunch of idealist dreamers. Motherfuckers.
