It might help if he prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob instead of the god of global warming.

It constantly amazes me how many Jews do not believe in the existence of that God or even of any of the patriarchs of their founding (and longest living) religion.
I knew Krugman personally (and far better than I wanted to) years ago. He used to be a young, smug, arrogant snob who believed in Keynesian economics and had no interest in checking those theories against facts. He’s changed - he is no longer young. Krugman is and always has been the perfect example of those elitists being rejected by Trump voters.
Note: My academic credentials are at least as “elite” as Krugman’s. The difference is I recognize how limited and narrow our expertise is, so I understand why it is both immoral and harmful for elitists to try to run the lives of others. Elites typically do one thing well: Beyonce sings, I do statistics and polling, and Tom Brady throws a football. Elites should be admired for the drive, focus, and effort that went into developing their talent. Elitists think doing their thing well makes their opinions in other areas more valuable than the opinions of others and that this gives them the right to run other people’s lives. I despise elitists, as should all decent people.
Wonder what K’s FR logon is. We have some as pessimistic as he is.
Yes the market will come down some day.
The real question, did we take advantage of its ups?
My wife and I are in our late 70’s.
At our ages, we have to have minimum distributions from our IRA’s.
After Trump won his election twice, I increased our holdings in the few mutual funds we own in our IRA’s. Those funds have done very well this year and have increased in value.
Those increases have kept our monthly balances ahead of the game inspite of the minimal monthly deductions.
Younger relatives with good 401 K’s got out of some weak perfoming bond funds into good stock exchange funds, etf’s after the election. Their 401 K’s from November through July look really good.
Too bad the Never Trumpster’s on both sides didn’t enjoy these market gains. s/
