GertrudGoetheAmerica Has Become a Digital Narco-State - Paul Krugman
I read the first paragraph of this article and I already think it sucks. If heroin was fully legalized, zero restrictions, we’d be much better off than the current situation we have right now with the war on drugs, fentanyl analogs, and xylazine. Full stop.
He’s deliberately making the point accessible because he’s writing for all levels of readers, including Americans.

There is no nobel prize for economics. It’s an even phonier prize made up by bankers. Even if there were an actual nobel, that’s no reason for believing anybody’s opinions far outside their realm of expertise (eg. krugman here).
More importantly krugman has been consistently liberal trash since forever.
