It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is like saying "my health is great ex my heart".

[edit] Also, child poverty increased more in 2022 than any time in recorded US history. So "little cost" for Krugman, but not for the population.

You realize he is such a low hanging fruit when every reply is dunking on him lol.

Off topic but its hilarious how someone could be so wrong? I never even knew about this lore. The internet already big in 1998? I had a quick look AOL already had 30 million subscribers at that point? lol

Also “When we launched AOL 4.0 in 1998, AOL used ALL of the world-wide CD production for several weeks. Think of that. Not a single music CD or Microsoft CD was produced during those weeks.”

Meanwhile, Nobel prize winner economist: "FAX MACHINES!!!!1!11!!!!!!"

Yeah, that was at the height of the first dotcom bubble.
