      That may be the weirdest bit of phrasing I’ve seen in a headline in a long while. I thought the link was missing a word, but… nope.

        Yeah not good when I have to read the comments to understand the headline (since article is pay walled).

        It’s a pun on the word “Mistral” … not a very good one, but funny to an economist I suppose.

          Oh… Ooooooh.

          That is the most obscure attempt at a pun I’ve ever seen. Holy crap. If your wordplay requires people to be aware of naming conventions for obscure local weather phenomena maybe your joke doesn’t really play.
