Agree, nostalgia is a tool of reaction. It will backfire if that’s how you recruit support.

Liberals love economics too. Except instead of “it’s simple really, let me explain to you the supply-demand curve” the liberals will say “let me explain why this program for Pell Grant recipients benefits you metaphysically although not actually, and here’s why you should love it”

“You have to really have tunnel vision and not understand the most basic economic history to make the misrepresentations that Krugman said.

And if I hadn’t met him, and I didn’t know how really stupid he is as a person, I would think he’s deliberately lying, but I have met him and he really is that stupid.

Krugman doesn’t understand the difference between paying a domestic debt and paying a foreign debt. And that’s because he doesn’t understand foreign trade.

If he understood foreign trade and debt, he never could have won a Nobel Prize. A precondition for winning the Nobel Prize is not to understand how international finance works so that you can act to preserve the kind of financial superstition that’s taught in the universities like the University of Chicago.”

That’s bananas. Speaking of which, bananas also can be red or blue.

If disposable vapes are made of recycled plastic then that’s another red flag. Recycled plastic is often of dubious origin. Lots of random dangerous waste gets mixed in with the plastic, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and of course heavy metals.
