Yeah, for those keeping score at home, it went something like this:
-I mention Krugman's Nobel prize
-Spool goes LOL at the value of the prize
-I acknowledge that he's doing so because Obama won the peace prize, thus diminishing its value in the minds of conservatives
-Organichu derps all over the thread because he's a slack-eyed welfare queen posting from an illegal flophouse in Philly

"He has a nobel therefore he is correct"
"nobel is not a sign of correctness, or virtue btw"
"All true nobels indicate correctness!"
having a nobel doesn't make you always right. It does however confirm that your peers in the field think pretty highly of you.
No, no, awards and distinctions mean nothing, the bum on the street is just as valid a source as someone who does something for a living and you surely cannot have a more nuanced opinion.

I'm pretty sure Krugman writes a column in the New York Times for a living, which further damages his credibility.
Fuckin' Bibi is gonna make a run on the elections in September.
I'm torn, because on the one hand it's gonna be five more years of that douche running Israel. On the other hand, it looks like IB is gonna be relegated to irrelevance, so that's a small improvement, if only because it means Avigdor Lieberman will be kicked to the curb.

It would be correct to say that the fact that Krugman has a Nobel prize does not mean that he is credible.
It would also be correct to say, however, that the fact that he won the prize for correctly predicting the collapse of the housing bubble would indicate that one might have reason to deem him credible. He also predicted that the stimulus would not go far enough and that there wouldn't be political capital to expand it later, which has also come true.

Krugram stuff usually has a lot of his ego and his political rhetoric in it. But the guy is also a god damn genius. So he is still a decent guy to read to get a basic idea of what is going on in the economy through his school's lens.
I also don't always agree with him but he probably has more basis in reality than most of the current schools that are popular in conservative politics. The laboratory of real life hasn't been kind to those policies.

tl,dr
This is just one of my favorite images of all time. It's so amazing.
I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but the impression I get is that Krugman is a pretty orthodox economist, but since that includes neo-Keynesian stuff a portion of the media active economists (Austrians/MMTers, Business Economists) as well as the political Right (major overlap there) really, really hate his guts.

Why would I do that? You're just going to vote for one of the Arab minority parties or one of the hippie Jewish parties, anyway. :bz

I NEED GOOD LUCK WISHES, PEOPLE. I NEED TO GRADUATE.
Why do you need people to wish you good luck? You know the material and you're going to pass so wishing for something I already know is going to happen is dumb.
I'm a nervous wreck and I'm second guessing all that I know. Ahhhhh!
so stop stalling and give me your blessingsssss.
Mim, you are going to kill this final. Just totally kill it.

Also: I not only want to have sex with Scarlett Johannsen, but pretty much all of the Avengers, including Bruce Banner, and Robin Sherbatzky made an especially sexy SHIELD agent.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I'M SO CLOSE. Graduation is Thursday. AHHHHHH.
Also, I might come up there to Albany at the beginning of June to relax either from finally graduating or the nervous breakdown I will surely have from not graduating.
