Spoiler Alert: Top Gun: Maverick.

I saw a billboard on the way into the NINC conference back in September: INFLATION COSTS MORE THAN TAXES AND IT’S ALL [POLITICIAN’S] FAULT.

No matter what side of the aisle you vote on, I think any person with a basic knowledge of economics knows that the current inflation issue is way more complicated than one politician.

Our world is a complicated and nuanced place. But man, do we wish it was this simple. Wait, I just said “wish”—Universal Fantasy alert!

Some of the most popular entertainments turn something that’s actually quite complicated in the real world into a powerful-but-simple story.
