though if we're going to be rational, let's ditch the shade.

paul krugman and these economists didn't say "bernie's economics are bad."

they said "this one interpretation of bernie's economics by this one guy is bad, and also inevitably the upper middle class will have to take on some of the burden of bernie's economic policies."

i am okay with that. most americans will be too.

though if we want to really be grown ups, eventually we will have to have conversation about the centrality of growth in most economists' models, and whether that makes sense in a world dealing with population bubbles and environmental collapse.
