    The paper wanted to take away his newsletter or make him write less
    frequently, he says.

    Excellent! Rumour indicates he is a socialist homo, so we are blessed that
    he is not retiring, since his political protectors are now out of office.

    It is scary and revolting how he has been able to make money off his
    political contacts far, far in excess of what anyone should be allowed to
    make of the game of politics.

    I won't miss his formulaic articles for sure. Why can't he just leave
    and start doing whatever it he wants to do, without all the drama and
    public posturing. He's a fucking economist for fuck's sake, and highly overrated.

    Imagine his fade into irrelevancy as his ego deflates.

    Yawn.

    He's over at substack with 100,000+ subscribers

    https://paulkrugman.substack.com/

    Why subscribe?

    Subscribers will receive each new newsletter in their inbox. Most of
    my stuff, above all weekday posts driven by current events, will be
    free. There will be occasional items available only to paid
    subscribers; I'm still figuring them out. Also, I hope some readers
    will consider subscriptions as a kind of tip jar for what now amounts
    to a full-time job.
