Here's a pattern we keep seeing: economic policies rolled out without proper economic analysis tend to backfire spectacularly. The unintended consequences pile up fast once these rules hit the real world.

What's wild is how avoidable this often is. A single afternoon of work from an undergrad analyst at any institution could've caught the obvious flaws before rollout. Yet somehow policies get greenlit without that basic due diligence.

It raises a bigger question for those of us watching markets and macro trends: how much of what we're seeing across inflation, asset bubbles, and volatility stems from policy design divorced from actual economic modeling? When decision-makers skip the analysis phase, the market usually teaches them the hard way.
