I just can't figure out this whole Invisible Hand thing. Every time it rains in Niger, oil prices go up. Every time there's a monsoon in Sri Lanka, oil prices go up. Every time the Earth quakes, the ground shakes or the wind blows in Arabia, oil prices go up, up, up. But when an Exxon-friendly Republican is running for president, oil prices mysteriously drop. I just don't get it. Maybe that's why they call economics the dismal science.
I propose that the invisible hand come a warning like cigarettes, Paxil or Lunesta. Caution: The Invisible Hand is not right for everyone. Side effects may include lay-offs, unemployment, poverty, cirrhosis of the liver and despair.
