... That economists get to pretend matter, while ignoring all the numbers that they can't measure and will kill us.

Economics on its own can't measure the impact of unknowns like global warming impact. It just gives the tools to the rich and elite and corporations to resist paying for it and dealing with it for as long as possible.

Everything is NOT QUANTIFIED. The theory of computation, physics, math, the uncertainty principle, and chaos GUARANTEE we do not have accurate quantification.

What does exist is bullshit quantification in favor of the powers that be that fund the studies and think tanks to justify their existence and political desires.

Yet another example of gross overreach of the pseudoscience of Economics.
