This guy is such a moron.  It's nice to have irrefutable evidence to prove it.

Makes you wonder.

Are you serious?  Do you believe this?  The internet, the smart phone, and the PC are the top three inventions in our lifetime. 

If the internet was no more important than the fax machine, why would Google, Facebook, and Amazon have the obscene stock valuations they have?

Most economists are useless in predicting the future.

Like weather forecasters.

We don't hear much from Krugman anymore because he was so wrong about Trumps effect on our economy...The dude must be ashamed..He's a complete left wing tool...

Just merely pointing out how 1) getting a Nobel prize is no longer worth anything, 2) who the fuck and why did this guy get a Nobel prize and 3) if you're THIS fucking wrong about something that is so hugely important and something that has such a huge impact on society and technology as a whole... why do we still have to listen to this asshole?

I liked fax machines. You'd feed in a black piece of paper and tape it into a cylinder and let the good times roll.

Krugman is a very intelligent guy.

However, economics is not a science.  It's an art.  He's not an artist.  He's a number cruncher who makes projections of the future using certain parameters.

Granted, very complex projections.

If the variables change the projection is no good.

Like most economists, he has also chosen a political side to back.  Being from a liberal institution like Princeton, or because he is in fact a liberal, he has decided to back the left.

Good career move.  If the Dems win in 2020 he'll be back on top, get invited to all the cocktail parties, where people will listen in awe to his pontificating.
