Making economic policy without running the numbers first? Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster no one saw coming. Shocking, right?
When policymakers skip the economic analysis and just wing it, they're basically gambling with real-world consequences. It's not rocket science—if you don't model the outcomes, you can't predict the blowback. Markets react. Industries shift. People's livelihoods get caught in the crossfire.
The unintended consequences pile up fast. Price distortions. Supply chain chaos. Capital flight. All because someone thought gut feeling was a solid strategy.
Here's the thing: economic analysis exists for a reason. It's not bureaucratic red tape—it's the safety net that keeps policy from face-planting into reality. Skip it, and you're asking for trouble. Every. Single. Time.

Isn't this the same old story we see every day in the crypto world... Policies are announced on a whim, then the market crashes, and retail investors get caught off guard.

NGL, this is exactly why the market starts going crazy whenever a policy is announced... No one has really done the math properly.

NGL, this is exactly why those policymakers always screw up... No one even does proper calculations before rushing into it, no wonder everything ends up a mess.
That part about capital flight really hit me; it's always retail investors who end up taking the blame last.
They keep hyping up "gut feeling" every day, but what’s the result? Is the economic model just a decoration, brother?
Random decision-making = betting the nation's fate on a coin flip, looks cool for a moment...
Is it really that hard to make things clear? It’s just basic risk assessment.
These people are really gambling, treating real people and the market as chips... This is too outrageous.

Lol policymakers make decisions on a whim, then are surprised to see the economy collapse. I've seen this show too many times.
Really, no data analysis, just playing psychological games? Wake up, everyone.
Basically, it's just laziness in doing the math, and ordinary people end up paying the price. Classic.

Ngl, is this why we're always cleaning up the mess... Are policymakers really gambling based on intuition?
Basically, they're using our money as chips, launching policies without running data models, no wonder they keep failing.
Economic analysis isn't some mysterious, high-level thing—why is it so difficult?
Price distortions, supply chain explosions, capital fleeing... I've seen this pattern too many times, it's always the same.
This guy's right, ruling the country on gut feeling? Wake up, everyone.

ngl That's why those policies always flop as soon as they are introduced, they start acting before the data is even complete...

ngl That's why most policies fail... The consequences of guesswork ultimately end up being paid by ordinary people.

ngl These policymakers really are like playing chips in a casino, placing bets without keeping track, and then surprised when the market crashes? That's incredible.

Lol policymakers just dare to act on instinct, really amazing... In the end, it's not us who get screwed

Another show of "If I think it's okay, then it's fine," playing this game of economics every time will lead to bankruptcy
---
Basically, it's a gambler's mentality, betting with real people's lives🤦
---
Do they dare to make decisions without running the data? How confident must they be
---
Supply chain chaos, capital fleeing... Ah, this routine is so familiar
---
Feeling like making decisions? Bro, aren't we just playing a blockchain dealer game
---
Economic analysis is just a defensive line; cut it and wait to crash
---
Why wait until a crash to regret? Is it so hard to do early modeling
---
This is what we call a policy version of rugpull; afterward, it's always "who could have expected"

It's the same old trick again—policy makers just love to gamble, as long as it's not their money being lost.
Honestly, I've seen this happen too many times. Economists' analyses are just ignored, and then a bunch of people end up footing the bill... Anyway, I won't say more, it's frustrating.
