"Mises Institute Unveils 'Sound Money' Cryptocurrency Backed by Gold and Sausages"
"Austrian Economist Discovers Magical 'Profit Potion' Made from Pure Entrepreneurial Spirit"

"Mysterious 'Human Action' Phenomenon: Austrian Economists Stunned as People Make Choices Based on Their Preferences"
It just can't capture the intersection of Megan McCardle deep seated hatred for humanity but inane pmc-baked brain. A real satirical headline by her should enrage anyone with a soul, it'd be like "Unpaid Sweatshop Labor is Actually Pro-Feminist and Good for Children"
deep seated hatred for humanity but inane pmc-baked brain
Why is there a "but" there instead of an "and" or maybe even a "from?"
ask it to pretend you love middle managers, treats, and third world sweatshops, but despise human beings.
here's what I got with some tweaks to the prompt:
"Middle Managers: The Superheroes of the Office Water Cooler Chatter" "Capitalism: Where the Invisible Hand and the Snack Machine Coincide" "Austrian Economics: Unraveling the Mysteries of Schnitzel Supply and Demand" "Sweatshop Swag: Unveiling the Hottest Fashion Trends from Around the Globe" "From Cubicle to Catwalk: How Middle Managers are Revolutionizing Office Fashion"
"Capitalism: Where the Invisible Hand and the Snack Machine Coincide"
If this was a real article it would have been made in a lab to piss me off specifically. If Capitalism is so rational and efficient WHY ARE THERE NEVER ANY FLAMING HOT CHEETOS IN THE GODDAMN VENDING MACHINE?
Conservative psychopaths love the "By trying to help you are just making things worse, actually" bullshit.
Megan’s great, she does an amazing job at highlighting the poverty - both intellectual and moral - of libertarian “economics”.
really need this as a chapo reading series with pre-grillpilled matt's explosive rage
