Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Economics is a tool, and yes of course you can get different conclusions based on different assumptions. Doesn't mean economics is bad, just means it is being used in different ways and for different purposes. Same with statistics. assumpsions are important.
The economy is a fake religion we made up to explain the psychology of mass amounts of peoples spending habits. Then we put everybody's money into 401ks bcz it was cheaper than pensions, and told them if the economy does bad they don't get to retire.
