Yea, it is for a fake science, but still - holy shit!

The guy got a call from his Wall Street friends, they told him that they needed money and Bernanke pushed the “print more money” button to buy shitty worthless assets from them at face value.

It is a more primitive and simpler version of me robbing a bank, then buying a shitty used Ford Fiesta from you for $1 million with my robbed money. Because robbing a bank is at least difficult.

    There is no Nobel prize for economics.

    Instead 70 years after Nobel’s death, a bank put some money aside and had a bunch of liberal economics departments in Sweden create the “Prize in Economic Science dedicated to the memory of Alfred Nobel” to promote liberal economics as a science.

      I’m setting aside $8 to make a Nobel Prize for Marxism dedicated to the memory of Alfred Nobel’s victims. This year’s award goes to my dog but next year’s is up for grabs.
