Make them more Austrian economics like

Certainly! Here are ten satirical story titles with a touch of Austrian economics:
"Spontaneous Order Strikes Again: Hayek's Invisible Hand Solves Traffic Congestion"
"Mises Institute Unveils 'Sound Money' Cryptocurrency Backed by Gold and Sausages"
"Austrian Economist Discovers Magical 'Profit Potion' Made from Pure Entrepreneurial Spirit"

"Mysterious 'Human Action' Phenomenon: Austrian Economists Stunned as People Make Choices Based on Their Preferences"
It just can't capture the intersection of Megan McCardle deep seated hatred for humanity but inane pmc-baked brain. A real satirical headline by her should enrage anyone with a soul, it'd be like "Unpaid Sweatshop Labor is Actually Pro-Feminist and Good for Children"
"Middle Managers: The Superheroes of the Office Water Cooler Chatter"
"Capitalism: Where the Invisible Hand and the Snack Machine Coincide"
"Austrian Economics: Unraveling the Mysteries of Schnitzel Supply and Demand"
"Sweatshop Swag: Unveiling the Hottest Fashion Trends from Around the Globe"
"From Cubicle to Catwalk: How Middle Managers are Revolutionizing Office Fashion"
"Capitalism: Where the Invisible Hand and the Snack Machine Coincide"
If this was a real article it would have been made in a lab to piss me off specifically. If Capitalism is so rational and efficient WHY ARE THERE NEVER ANY FLAMING HOT CHEETOS IN THE GODDAMN VENDING MACHINE?
I did some too but I think I shouldn't have asked for parodies.
