Happy Thanksgiving to all of the PK substackers … and please consider not spending any money at the big chains this week, or indefinitely, in support of organized economic blackouts. We can do it!!

Specifically: Target, Amazon and Home Depot. Although feel free to boycott Charbucks, McDonald's, Walmart, and any other oversized chains.

Professor Krugman thank you for your posts and for being a voice of reason in a country that has completely lost its way.

Happy Thanksgiving! Addams Family Values is my must-see Thanksgiving movie. Just think, Charles Addams' cartoon first appeared in 1938, where the weirdo family is loving, accepting, and sane, but the outside world is totally nuts. So let us give thanks for Charles Addams, who, first, had a well-paying career as an artist, and, second, showed us the importance of tolerance and acceptance of those outside the "norm."

Happy Thanksgiving, Paul and all commenters! I am grateful to be able to read this clear, informative Substack. PS Speaking of woke holiday movies, how about the 1960s animated Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer? "Different" reindeer wins love and acceptance by all because he's a hero! And how about that Land of Misfit Toys and what happens there? Talk about Woke! 🤣

Wednesday never disappoints 😂. Thank you for this, nothing better than "comedy" to bring back in us some sense of humility by shedding light on our hubris, and how far we have strayed from our values! Hilarious 🤣. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.

Fabulous!Well, Adams family is the most anti-MAGA show on Earth, half a century before Maga existed! Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sure Donald Trump would love to give Paul Krugman the bird, on this day or any other!

Speaking of woke and DEI, I've heard that Trump wants Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer banned from the White House Christmas music list because Rudolph was obviously promoted to the head of the reindeer team because of his birth defect.

Plus he's too much competition for Pete Swigseth.

Please remember that sanitized versions of history disrespect and dishonor those who have been harmed by it. Thanksgiving is also a day of deep reflection and mourning for what was done to the Native Americans, e.g., the intentional introduction of smallpox and the Pequot Massacre of 1637 (not the first nor the last massacre). We cannot change what was done in the past, but we can resolve to learn from it to be better in our current and future behavior.

ThanksPaul, for “Talking Turkey” with us every day!

My family wants me to promise a pun free Thanksgiving.

I can’t do that. I can’t quit cold Turkey.
