Transcript
Panel 1:
A bearded man in a suit and glasses stands at the front of a room, gesturing toward a presentation graph that shows a rising line over an axis. The audience is seen from behind.
Man (presenting): "Whereas the annual park revenue is projected to be 1.6 billion dollars, and whereas the statistical value of five human lives is only about 50 million, we can see at a glance that the investment remains viable."
Caption (below panel): Economists do not understand the ending of Jurassic Park.
Votey:
The same presenter's speech bubble continues over a scene of a skull-like, smoky shape (suggesting carnage/destruction) at the bottom of the frame.
Man (presenting): "In fact, the best available data suggests we should lower safety as soon as possible."

A bearded economist in a suit and glasses presents to an audience, pointing at a graph with a steadily rising line. He says: "Whereas the annual park revenue is projected to be 1.6 billion dollars, and whereas the statistical value of five human lives is only about 50 million, we can see at a glance that the investment remains viable." The caption reads: "Economists do not understand the ending of Jurassic Park" — the joke being that he coldly cost-benefits away the very disaster that destroyed the park. Votey: his speech bubble continues over a small drawing of a skull-shaped puff of smoke, as he concludes: "In fact, the best available data suggests we should lower safety as soon as possible."
