which is why things are going so well of course.
its just math.
based on all the freely available empirical data 🙄

(that data doesnt exist either, any more than there are "sound principles")

the incentive structure is broken. 
as a result the "sound economic principles" are manufactured to match presupposed necessities.
and then data is tainted with confirmation bias to support them.

its not just economics. its every highly politically charged arena where power and money is involved.
