Yep!

Economics is a valid area of study, after all everyone loves money and needs some. Things work better for everyone when it is moving around optimally.

But money also buys opinions from feckless nerds. Thus the entire ‘science’ of economics as the public sees it is much more akin to a company paying a consultant to come in to deliver bad news about needed layoffs. It is pure theatre to deflect ire away from the real reasons.
