A list of puns related to "Betteridge's law of headlines"

Apparently FIRE adherents might ruin the economy by saving too much. Nevermind that apparently 99 countries in the world have higher savings rates (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_gross_national_savings, including such tiny, insignificant countries as Japan, (Edit: Japan has a high savings rate but it's probably disputable that it conducts effective monetary policy.) South Korea, Italy, (Edit: since it uses the Euro I don't think Italy conducts its own monetary policy.) Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and China) and still manage to conduct monetary policy. Nevermind that the FIRE movement is small. Nope, it's all on the FIRE movement.
Basically if the answer to any headline that is a question can be "no", than is the story probably bullshit or over-sold.
For example: Have we found a cure for AIDS? Probably not.
