dear economists, if all your economic markers say the economy is going great yet ordinary people keep saying the economy is the worst they've ever seen, maybe get some new economic indicators instead of scratching your head and wondering why the people are so "out of touch" with reality
@josh back when Poland was People's Republic of Poland, all the indicators were amazing. Then it went bankrupt.

Goodhart's Law really is as fundamental as gravity or electromagnetism.

@passenger although I agree, in this case the puzzle is much simpler. The indicators were a lie. They were literally fake. Made up numbers by the departament of propaganda.
