And so is Salon btw, Yes, they used to be good until 'couple of government haters', bitcoin users came in, now the whole site is perverted. All the Respected Writers left. Only glibertarians allowed.
could also have been included in Paul Rosenberg's post if he wanted to be entirely fair to Krugman .. i think it would be fair, also, to note that the elitist views Krugman refers to are those elitist right-wing views on the gung-ho 'all good' pro-free trade right which sorta sits, as i see it, on the opposite end of Bernie's left-wing 'all nix no good' as to the free trade deals already ratified.
If you have a look at my TPP posts you will see pro and cons, and comment that in reality the effect of the deals have been somewhere in-between the elitist all-for rights which Krugman talked about in that one and the all-against left which Bernie and you and others seem to tend to expound.
I think that's, albeit rough, a pretty fair summary of the situation, and would be happy if you could question it with more than unsubstantiated and inaccurate suggestion/opinion of yours.
