Economist draws a line...

A discord message replying to a message. The message it is replying to reads: "standards for evidence are like nonexistent there as far as I can tell". This new message reads "plot looks like random noise" "economist draws a line through it" "R^2 = 0.2" "this is the relationship"

Explaining the meme

Economists making up wild claims and models with bullshit evidence.
