Once this is no longer current affairs, and the freaks move on to the next outrage, there will be the space for knowledgeable people to come to thoughtful conclusions. Not until then.

That said I'll post about the hospital reporting stuff when I have time.

Economics isn't and isn't trying to be a science. It is applied mathematics.
It already is a social science like any other social science: if you can gather data, analyse it statistically, and use that to make and test predictions then it's a science. -

There is no opinionated, ideological split in modern economics academia. Anyone claiming there is some kind of split is mentally handicapped and doesn't know shit. There's not even a claim towards a "truth".
That's not how studying economics works. It is purely about model building at its core. No not claiming one economic model is correct. You literally learn the basic, totally uncontroversial economic principles so you can use them in an elementary fashion to construct a model for a particular market because real world economies are insanely complex. You must adapt and adjust models all the time. You must build new models all the time for different situations.
It's just flatly obvious 99.9% of retards who talk about economics online like this are completely retarded and in fact have never actually read one introductory economics textbook by themselves, just like Soi and Psychochildsex.
They just retardedly regurgitate some vague shit they heard their favourite YouTuber say. -

And they aren't afraid to hurt people who disagree.
It's been noted by dissenters that no one ever asks them for their numbers or evidence. They just attack on a moral level - often with the implicit threat of force. -

McConnell- "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president." -

"Given that we are in the midst of the presidential election process, we believe that the American people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on whom they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. It is today the American people, rather than a lame-duck president whose priorities and policies they just rejected in the most-recent national election, who should be afforded the opportunity to replace Justice Scalia." -

"[W]hile finding the right person to take the seat [Scalia] occupied will clearly be a monumental task, it's one we think the American people are more than equipped to tackle. Some disagree and would rather the Senate simply push through yet another lifetime appointment from a president who's on his way out the door...I believe that it is today the American people who are best-positioned to help make this important decision." -

February 23, press conference: "The American people are perfectly capable of having their say on this issue, so let's give them a voice. Let's let the American people decide. The Senate will appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominates, whoever that might be."
March 16, Senate floor speech after Mr. Obama nominated Garland: "The American people may well elect a president who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next president may also nominate someone very different. Either way, our view is this: Give the people a voice."
March 20, "Fox News Sunday" interview: "We think the important principle in the middle of this presidential election, which is raging, is that American people need to weigh in and decide who's going to make this decision."
