I'm not wrong, I'm just an asshole

Time Travel is Here

So for a while early in the month, Brad DeLong's blog got a bit stale, i.e., he didn't post for a while. In fact, it was even worse than it appeared. His latest post during this period was dated April 7, even though (if memory serves) he posted it on April 5 at the latest. Generally economists are very bad at predicting the future. Thus, Brad DeLong appears to have what we like to call a comparative advantage. A pretty damn big one.

The Wall Street Journal, on the other hand, is stuck in the past. Today (April 17th), on its website, one of the top stories is "The Week Ahead: What's ahead for the week of April 10 to April 15." I guess that's one way to make sure your predictions are accurate.
