Date: May 21st, 2025 7:57 PM Author: hank_scorpio do economists ever generally agree on a future prediction and turn out to be right? the entire field is buoyed by the fact that there is always at least one of them right about most things but they aren't actually doing science and just making shit up so they can never agree (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2).#48952169) |

Date: May 21st, 2025 8:01 PM Author: hank_scorpio yes, they are very good at going backwards and describing what happened while making up reasons but it never results in a predictive model and you end up with that Burry guy becoming famous because the entire field can't spot the biggest bubble in history (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2).#48952176) |

Date: May 21st, 2025 8:04 PM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . The breadlines at the tail end of the USSR were caused by the introduction of market pricing for trucking services in an economy with no credit system. People couldn't pay truckers. Truckers wouldn't work. Good literally rotted. Soviets fixed for that by threatening death and labor camps for refusing to work but then Gorby got all civilized and stopped enforcing Soviet labor laws.

If communism caused breadlines, Russians would have been used to them by the 1980s. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2).#48952182) |
