To play devil's advocate, sometimes the economists' "math" forecasts bad news; in which case politicians/business people will plug their ears like with anyone else. It certainly doesn't help that economists can't forecast when things go pop.

To imply anything other than "line-go-up" would imply a bad job on the part of a politician/business person. Which of course, would be ludicrous. 🙃

    Does any comic fan actually wish to BE Spider-Man? Like sure, Spider-Man fan all the way, but sitting in his shoes? Parker luck and all? Nah.

    I think I’d rather be any other supe in the chart; Trauma-cases Wolverine and Batman included.
