Economists can attempt to build a model that has some predictive power. And we can wait a year, a decade, whatever and throw out the models that don't fit reality. We've theoretically been doing this for 250 years but there is also a very good reason most of us think economists are full of shit.

The whole Netflix DVD mail thing is what had me drop TV service and go Internet only. I can't stand long interruption with ads, I start to lose the plot and don't enjoy watching.

That's terrible, they poured $15.5B into the industry over the course 25 years.

Wait no, that was the US. And it was Boeing alone they poured that much into.

The US/Boeing and EU/Airbus have been arguing back and forth for years about each side's unfair aerospace subsidies (that are not subsidies if you ask them).
