Bullshit, Balderdash, and Backtalk!
Welcome to the economy & satire page — where recessions are retro, inflation is a lifestyle brand, and economists now moonlight as doomsday prophets on TikTok.
At Bohiney, we believe economy satire is a public service. Why cry about your 401(k) when you can laugh while Googling “how to barter emotions for groceries”?
We explore the global marketplace like a flea market inside a fever dream:
Billionaires are now collecting ghost towns like NFTs.
The stock market is basically astrology, but with worse outfits.
And your crypto wallet just left you for someone younger and more stable.
In this timeline, economic indicators include:
The number of eggs your friends are willing to fight over
Whether your DoorDash driver is also your landlord
If your rent costs more than your student loans, car insurance, and dignity combined
Every Bohiney economy article is a hard-hitting exposé written by freelance economists with nothing to lose and nothing in savings. We dive into the absurdity of wage gaps, tax loopholes, and $12 coffee sold with “late capitalist foam.”
You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll consider investing in canned beans.
