Thank you for bringing it back to core economic principles. To be fair most people have a hard time comparing one big number to another and can always question when a number is clearly in the wrong, whereas the cultural phenomena get people right in the gut. Where oh where is the economic renewal project that we can pair with the journalistic one occurring here?
