Economists are amusing

I thought that this was a rather amusing quote

"Japan's suicide rate rose from 22104 in 1992 to a record high of 33048 in 1999. Needless to mention the destruction of human resources - voluntary exits from the market oppurtunities of this world? is an indication that the factor inputs are not fully utillized ( and also that the neoclassical conception of market clearing and individual behaviour may be inadequate)"

So basically when people aren't employed they "exit" the market by killing themselves. Ahhhh dear somethings gone wrong when economists are putting the problem of suicide down to market failure. Cynical bastards hehehehe... They really do have a warped view on the world, people are just useful for making statistics and observing trends errrr right???
