    I found out who Paul Krugman was after I made the mistake of casually striking up a conversation with this dude at a bar telling him how I'm a communist as I was sitting there watching one of the Democratic primary debates back in February 2020 (this was a mistake because in response the dude told me that he was a libertarian). He ask me if I read Krugman and recommended that I check out some ghoul's economics book called Contra Krugman saying that it debunked his leftist views or some shit. Looking up Krugman on my phone after the dude walked away and seeing that he's an NYT columnist made me genuinely lol
