~ Given J.D. Vance's professional background, there are 180 degrees of irony in Krugman's paragraph citing Vance's tweet about NYC.

1788: Australia Day: Landing of the First Fleet in what is present-day Sydney
"The First Fleet was a fleet of 11 British ships that brought the first British colonists and convicts to Australia. It was made up of two Royal Navy vessels, three store ships and six convict transports. On 13 May 1787 the fleet under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, with over 1400 people (convicts, marines, sailors, civil officers and free settlers), left from Portsmouth, England and took a journey of over 24,000 kilometres (15,000 mi) and over 250 days to eventually arrive in Botany Bay, New South Wales, where a penal colony would become the first British settlement in Australia." -- from
