"It's a beautiful, sunny day Heathcliff. My heart is full. Please kiss me!"
Heathcliff, mournfully, "Someday we are all going to die."
Meanwhile, in economic reporting:
"Unemployment is at its lowest in 60 years! The stock market is at record highs! Inflation has dropped to 2%. New business formation is 50% higher than it has ever been!"
"Yes but the economy will eventually fall into a recession. It might not be for a decade. It might start next month. But it will eventually falter. And that bad news - however speculative and far into the future - is the real news."
