    How can a scientist be so wrong? Maybe he's not a scientist?

    Scientists are often wrong - that's how science progresses. You're getting him mixed up with the Pope, I think.

    So you admit that Krugman was wrong? There must be a snowball in hell...

    I know nothing about anyone called Krugman. I gather he's an economist. You seemed to be laying down the law about scientists. Infallibility is not claimed by scientists - only by the Pope and Trumpf, surely?

    You should read up om Krugman. He's adored by the press, won a Pulitzer for his outstanding work. Has a nasty habit of diddling over child porn, but we can overlook that for someone so noble otherwise...

    Science is not any scientist or group of scientists. Science is not 'progression'. Science is just a set of falsifiable theories.

    Why did Krugman predict disaster?

    They live in a media bubble in the US called Fox news. On that platform the shows develop evil talismanic personae
    sort of like a voodoo dolls for each vocation. Krugman is their designated economics voodoo doll. Darth sticks pins in it hoping it will hurt you.
    They are silly like that. It's an American thing.

    Holy crap, are you being serious for once? The housing market and a few other things do give signs to worry. Housing prices, especially in vacation areas, have been bubbling a bit. Our house has gone up 84% in a few years. You have to wonder if the same fooling around that caused the housing crash isn't going down again

    But what's he got to do with science?

    Not in the least. In fact Krugman predicted a massive recession if Trump was elected; a stroke of pure brilliance.

    Well, it may be American Republican science, but I'd like to see the definition of that thing!
