That's a completely different topic of argument. _You_ may not agree with Keynesian economics, and may have examples to cite for your reasoning, but it doesn't speak to Krugman's consistency.

Additionally, QE was only a piece of the recovery. Keynesian economics also advocates for direct investment in infrastructure and other government spending to get people working and money moving.

If you follow Krugman, you'd observe the difference in his opinions on Obama debt and Bush/Trump debt surround the real-world events of economic recovery. Krugman often argues for Keynesian economics[1], in that you should drive up deficits in times of economic hardship, and drive them down in times of economic prosperity.

I really hope this will let me manage multiple calendars the way the app does… just be signed in to all of them... don’t make me "share" them with each other.

This was something that I was just kicking around in my head and wondering "what would these results actually look like?" And then I realized that all the necessary data was publicly available, so I grabbed a coffee and went to town. I'm not actually proposing this change and had no idea what the results would be until I started writing.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe those are only spots that have been reviewed by WHA users. The app itself still has tons and tons of spots (I think from Foursquare data?) that are pinned on the map but needing some feedback from users. It looks like the creators are watching these comments, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Something about DC seems to give people the impression that anyone doing anything else in the world is "stuff that doesn't matter".

I see this from people that live in the Bay too.

NYC too.
