This is also reminding me ~7th-grade me used to play a Sims/Theme Park style game called "Theme Hospital" in which you build/manage a system of hospitals in the UK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_…

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

An overlooked answer to Ulam's request for social science ideas that are true and non-trivial: the theory of tax incidence. Almost no one without econ training gets that the person who sends a check to the govt isn't the person who loses money on net as a result of a tax.
