During my undergrad in econ, I got mocked more than once by professors and students with Kruggie's same brain rot, for pointing out that the assumptions their models were built on bore no relation to reality, and that their policy proposals were sure enrich the wealthy while immiserating the poor and working class. The economics discipline is an absolute dumpster fire, with very few exceptions.

In the generally totally munted US political scene, this info drops: https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=F-bpASAVEPU - US voting districts which favoured Republicans (i.e. Trumpists) last election, the rates of vaccination are substantially lower (like 40% lower). Their COVID contraction and *death* rates are also *much* higher. In tightly contested races, the Republicans have lost the natural selection race, and will likely lose the election race. Too bad, but just desserts.
