        It's disheartening to watch ppl, whose intelligence you admire in other areas go full #GroupThink on politics.

        If Wikipedia is anything to go by, there are only about 32 living U.S. Nobel Laureates in Economics. 20 signed that letter.

        Open letter from the guys who've brought us decades of wage stagnation, and who couldn't foresee 2008 crisis. Convincing!

        How many supporters of the republican candidate do you think will read an open letter from a bunch of economists?

        Because the immoral conwoman is somehow better? The reaction to Trump will fix many of the issues I have with Gov.

        I have. Though I am going to guess that you are putting far more stock in who *they* are rather than context around.

        The same people who've shafted the working class in US now think we give a fuck what they say? Proof of how detached from reality they r.

        I think @sapinker is genuinely worried about the future of our country. What happened to benefit of the doubt? And stopping Trump together?

        are you not at all worried what this endorses? - vote for someone because they are not someone else. I worry for democracy
