So you don’t have any emotional opinions on the work of others that has real effect on your life?
Physicists can be wrong.
Economists can be wrong.
At some point technical nonsense becomes “imperfect people choosing.”
A fix might simply be change tax laws? Kind of like how the billionaires changed them to be less distributed.
But you don’t have feelings enough about economics being purposely wielded at scale to manipulate; let’s hope you’re still one of the privileged enough to be indifferent and comfortable in the future.

Real-time meltdown of Pax Americana is pretty metal.
I don't think the poster was saying any of this. They were simply stating that the post was informational and that they weren't offering any commentary on the situation, just giving facts.
I mean, sure a physicist can be wrong, but if they are giving facts as are currently accepted by the community or even as they know them, it isn't an emotional statement of whether they agree. It is just that: Facts as we know them, to the best of our ability and not giving the commentary with it.
They're separable by experimental verification. The laws of physics are multiple orders of magnitude more accurate than the laws of economics, and the physicists are certain that at least one of their models is wrong.
Try getting an admission like that out of an economist!
As economists we are certain all of our models are wrong! But some can be useful in a constrained environment to answer specific questions, so thats why we have so damn many of them!
