The multimillionaires who staff the Reserve Bank of Australia have decided more unemployment is a good idea.

They all have enough money to ensure their children won’t have to work, probably their grandchildren.

They can’t imagine what it is to have to choose between heat and healthy food, having already lost all the things that provide status and comfort in our society.

@kentparkstreet1 I have a friend who hates that I refuse to call economics an actual science. Because it’s not - just look at how economists still believe that interest rates work to control inflation, but during the biggest inflationary episode in decades, countries that didn’t try to control it did better than those (like Australia) who tried. The control group did better than the intervention, but economists still blindly said that the RBA was “forced” to raise rates! It’s just unnecessary pain that makes things *worse*.

@stephengentle @kentparkstreet1 It more resembles a theology, like Astrology.
