Here's a post I made this morning at Gelman's blog explaining why much of what's published by Economists in the media is gaslighting because it fundamentally fails to address the question of interest by failing to form an appropriate dimensionless ratio to answer the question: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/05/17/how-to-think-about-the-effect-of-the-economy-on-political-attitudes-and-behavior/#comment-2372708
