Your OG contribution:
Stop repeating corpo criti-hype
I pointed out that I am posting a short simple statement backed up by hundreds of impressive people, including over a dozen Nobel Laureates.
Your response:
the signers that are the problem (though the NYT is more than happy to platform the worst people)
So I listed their names and asked for how, specifically, these are the “worst people”.
How do you come to that conclusion? Is it by virtue of the fact that they have Nobel prizes? Or because they signed the statement? If the latter, which, at least, of the 3 points do you disagree with, and why?
Are you this reflexively contrarian with everyone, or just me personally? Just curious

There is no Nobel prize in economics; the award you’re referring to was created long after Nobel’s death and has been “awarded” to many reactionaries including Milton Friedman. If someone criticized the idea that the social responsibility of corporations is to maximize profit by pointing to Friedman’s fake award, it would have about as much merit.
