I wonder if he was drunk, or mixed up on something, odd behavior.

The broken window fallacy is the name given to the idea that having people working is beneficial even if it isn't productive work.

It's a reductio ad absurdum argument against some popular economic theories and economists.

I'm onboard now. For some reason I thought the broken window fallacy was related to burglaries. Fuzzy head this am.

I'm assuming they've updated the link, since the title of the article says why he was in accidents.

CNN updated it, when I posted it this morning it was a bit more vague.
