Now, this is nothing. Right? Like, in economic terms... No, that's not how you do anything. This is not a real thing. Like, this is like trying to measure someone's height by, like, dividing their favorite number by the average radius of an apple. Like, it's literally nothing.

There is no scientific basis, Robert, for measuring height by dividing favorite number by apple radius. We simply must accept the truth of science.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just, they ask ChatGPT.

Mm-hmm. Well, and you can tell the extent to which they were relying on this and didn't calculate themselves because so after it started to spread that this is just how they were doing it, after James Surowiecki calculated it, the White House said, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, no, no, no, that's not right. We use an actual complex formula. And so they released a fake formula.

But the thing about the formula, right, is that the formula is just, it is literally just trade deficit divided by total exports, but they threw in two random variables as Greek letters. But there's one on the top, there's one on the numerator, one on the denominator, and they're the same, so they cancel each other out. That sounds right to me.

This is how the economy dies, not through tragedy, but through farce.

It is both.
