He's basically the Kurt Eichenwald of economics. I love how now that a Republican might be in office the deficit matters again, despite 8 years of him swearing otherwise.
The author of the article is named Tyler Durden lol. The only thing that would have made it more perfect is if the profile picture was a Guy Fawkes mask.
It is known. In the beginning, it was not an entirely disrespectable economy blog. Then things changed, and it has been 90% horseshit --misinterpreted, misinformed statistics twisted to portray a conspiracy agenda, and DOOM AND GLOOM FOR ALL under the guise of What? I don't know. Idiocy. For years now.
Ask /u/riemann1413 about this blog. It started as a fringe financial blog and got heavy into conspiracies. Every news writer uses "Tyler Durden" as their nom de guerre.
Isn't this the same as every progressive's twitter? I see no cause for concern, he'll keep being wrong, the NYT will keep paying him, and he'll be happy again when a Democrat is president
Doesn't Paul Krugman have a Nobel prize in economics? All else being equal, I'll listen to him over "Tyler Durden" and this blog post that's basically a longer "u mad bro?"

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.

not new for Krugman to have a meltdown.
I dont suspect the writers of zerohedge dot com read a lot though.

I liked Tyler Durden
Why did the alt-right adopt him? what a shame
n/a Zachums 2017-01-14
Like their kawaii senpai Trump, Durden only wants the best for society by destroying the supportive structures holding it up.

I always thought he was an anarcho-primitivist in the movie? huh I should watch it again

Ya'll don't know anything about zerohedge, eh?

Yeah, Zerohedge went from "this isn't entirely terrible" to "this is /pol/ focused on writing shitty economics".

Well, they're Austrians, so it's not entirely unexpected.

Isn't it pretty clear zerohedge is a Russian agitprop operation?
n/a rdramathrowaway6969 2017-01-14
No, it's pretty much the_donald level of scatteredness and incompetency.

Is it actually terrible now? I only remember it from back during the financial crisis, when it seemed like a good blog.
Reddit has a weird tendency to over-hate every single publication/blog, not sure what that's about.

ZeroHedge has always been the finance blog for retards
n/a Somenakedguy 2017-01-14
I liked him as a movie character. As an actual person he's like an edgy anarchist fanfic character
n/a SpookyMood 2017-01-14
Oh Krugman, you smug piece of shit.
I still like him though.
n/a PhysicsIsMyMistress 2017-01-14
Krugman is a few year away from being found naked in a park chasing a goose.

A Jew is upset that a cracker is in control of the money? SHOCKING

Tyler Durden?
And Zero Hedge wants to talk shit?
n/a Assy-McGee 2017-01-14
Like a fat weeb with an anime avatar calling a Pixar movie "badly animated"

Pro-Russian conspiratorial blog site is critical of actual journalist.

Nothing wrong with pro russia. Pro putin on the other hand...

Fuck agenda posting bullshit.
Mods, I want to post smug anime girls.

Be the change you want to see

Does Krugman even read what he writes? Or does he just lack all capacity for self-awareness?

This doesn't qualify as a meltdown. It's just a rant.

Zerohedge.
Making fun of a guy who is actually intelligent.
That's the standard modus operandi for these types of red-shill rags.
n/a PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-01-14
A lot of people are taking the Trump thing very badly because surprise: someone is finally as mentally unstable as they are.
I also trust Zero Hedge as far as I can throw them.
