There are some quantities so large that nothing that economics or politics can produce will ever rival them.
 
Not sure the point of a thread that is inaccurate and then doesn't show numbers that most economists would use when looking at the health of the economy.
 
I'm not sure how anybody else couldn't be completely sure whether I was serious or not. But then again, maybe I wasn't obvious enough, so I'll try and repost it with slightly less subtlety this time.
 
Dow Jones Industrial Average: a finite quantityLbs/day of ink to print US currency*: a finite quantity

(The preceding lines had the pretense of being about the economy, but the following line will actually turn out to be about football instead.)
OU suckage*: infinite <------ OU refers to Oklahoma University, Texas' biggest sports rival.

There are some quantities so large that nothing that economics or politics can produce will ever rival them - it's because all those quantities will necessary be real numbers that are located on the number line, but OU's sucking cannot be represented by a real number, which is the reason for using infinity when we talk about how much OU sucks.

* Designates a statistic that an economist would probably not use when describing the health of the economy.
