This is Greenspan's Perverse Economics 101.

I have an unemployed neighbor down the street who's going for a job interview tomorrow. I'll do my part, for the sake of investors, and go slash his tires so as to make sure he misses his interview and doesn't get the job.

On the other hand, slashing his tires means he'll have to buy new ones which might spur sales growth in the Tire companies. And sales growth is a definite no-no according to Spammy.

Maybe I'll just break my neighbor's legs. Oh no, can't do that either...the medication he will need will increase sales of Pharmaceutical companies. Ok, I'll kill my neighbor so he'll miss his job interview. Wait a minute.....killing him means more sales for the Funeral industry.

Oh my God, we can't stop this economy. What do we do? What do we do?
