I quit paying attention to Nobel Prizes when Paul Krugman won one for economics. I knew they’d become too much like the Oscars. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
team apologia has really been out lately making the case that “americans are wrong and the economy is great! trust the experts!”
leaving aside the absurdity of “an economy so good you need the government to tell you that you are thriving!” who whole thing is sort of charmingly soviet.
there are many happy water carriers, but to my mind, pretty much none stand worse than the bearded baron of baldfaced balderdash himself, paul krugamn.
this is because once upon a time, paul was an actual economist and it just makes this descent into populist partisan pandering all the worse because he absolutely knows better and is clearly doing this on purpose and is selling us out for 30 pieces of fiat currency.
(he also turns off responses on twitter, a sure sign of “don’t want anyone checking my work”)
and it’s been a little while since we did a stats with cats. so let’s look:
here is señor paul with his grand claims:
bidenomics are just like reganomics! so stop being angry about the economy and start realizing how great things really are!
