Just gonna leave this here...

A winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Paul Krugman wrote in 1998, “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

[Thank You Rush]

Just think - we will have to live without his brilliant mind now. AWESOME!

[DeplorablePaul]

Krugman? He will not be missed

[Valpal1]

Well, he’s not wrong that most people have nothing to say as evidenced by TikTok and other social media.

He is, however, Bidenesque in his abolity to get things wrong.

[Redleg Duke]

I guess it takes a special kinda stupid to be a Nobel Laureate in economics.

[N. Theknow]

When he kicks the bucket he will probably miss it and just croak.

Krugman’s retirement is another win for America. Thank you, President Trump and my fellow Americans who voted for him.

[marktwain]

Krugman has been seriously wrong for most of his career.

[Eli Kopter]

He was the most respected economist in Bizarro World..

[Repeat Offender]

I had an ECON prof that thought PK was the close as one could get to the second coming......

[KarlInOhio]

Add this to the list of bad predictions.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Whatever prestige the Nobel Prize in Economics may have had was destroyed when they gave it to Krugman. They would have been better off just picking a name out of the phone book.

[wildcard_redneck]

Paul Krugman is a credentialed idiot that is well paid to lie for the rich and powerful. He is a mere mouthpiece for hire.

[StAnDeliver]

The only famous last words I want to hear out of Kruggie are this : "You are sending me to Hell? But why?"

[FreedBird]

Left wing Kook.

[Da Coyote]

The ‘Krug” has a high 90% record of being wrong. After all, the naive Nobel committee gate this clown an award, which brings the Nobel award in Economics down to the level of their laughable Peace Prize.

[jdt1138]

Crazy how these people are able to get top billing on the main stream media until you consider that only a few people own the MSM headlines.

[dangus]

Krugman is unworthy of that list.

[ClearCase_guy]

most people have nothing to say to each other!

Wow. The 21st century didn't go the way he expected.
