Treatment for headache in 1895
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This image does not show an actual headache treatment from 1895. Experts confirm that it is likely a humorous composite image and not a depiction of any real medical procedure. snopes.com/fact-check/vib…

Scotch sales started to dip in the early 1970s. Instead of cutting prices or reducing output, distillers doubled their prices and marketed scotch as a high-end product. Sales went up. Supply and demand!

This is a great illustration of what's wrong with economics. We take very complex phenomena and reduce them to comically simplistic diagrams like this, that don't stand up to empirical or theoretical scrutiny, and then mock people who don't repeat our baseless, simplistic dogma.
