    I mean, this headline seems open and shut.

    Economist made a mistake, he should have learned to adjust the numbers for whatever Emperor Pooh expects.

    He’s completely fine folks. Nothing to see here. Just a regular ol’ complete ban on all social media services and a sprinkle of societal isolation. Just to teach him some manners of course.

    On one hand, he could be languishing in a labor camp or other unpleasant fate.

    On the other hand, he may only be reassigned to Antarctica or the equivalent posting for the great crime of criticizing Great Leader Pooh Bear.
