I can also make up numbers out of thin air.

That's how I would get my kids, when they were little, to take the hint about unreasonable requests.

But I wouldn't do that with economic data because it's dishonest and demonstrably false.

If I were a kid and my parents found out I said that, it would have been the last thing I ever did. There would be no more me. I am not entirely joking.

"Kids just do that" as an excuse for vile behavior is not a thing and should never be a thing.

Well, we are at the point then where you have your own ability to be resourceful, like going to peer-reviewed journals, the library, or places where you are likely to get good information, you have friends, and you have decent intuition about what makes sense.

When you look at Trump, are you compelled to give him the amount of anilingus that Mike Johnson gives? It must be:

A) They want the power. Fuck the rest of us.

B) A few are performing their blackmail function, if you will.
