Add to that a decent chunk of the people who *did* think inflation would persist read the implication of persistence for crypto prices backward and there just wasn’t much prudent planning for the rapid normalization of interest rates. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing is that once “inflation will be transitory” proved wrong everyone wants to say they knew it was wrong all along, but the bond market agreed with Biden & the Fed so there’s more genuine whiplash than anyone wants to own up to. — PolitiTweet.org

I think a lot of interesting stuff happening in the business world that people are currently writing interesting explanations of is actually just boring downstream of interest rates going up really fast in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

@ian_t_adams @CharlesFLehman I'll just say personally that I think "gun confiscation" doesn't make sense, but a big upside to automating traffic enforcement is it would free up police officers to do more other kinds of stops. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not single-handedly @RonaldKlain's doing obviously, but it's a big deal and Biden administration policies that he championed played a role. https://t.co/JgEuhgUxKL — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @ian_t_adams Maybe his views on policing are just more moderate than you think? — PolitiTweet.org

@jasonfurman The pace of increase is unusual more so than the level. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol The evolution of environmental issues into a partisan divide rather than a regional one seems key to this to me. You should tout your book! — PolitiTweet.org

This article is mostly about Klain's relationship with the left, but arguably one of his biggest contributions to Democrats' midterm success was deciding to shake off learned helplessness about the government's ability to influence gasoline prices. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @WhigBobKendrick I would also think most teens face pretty sharp budget constraints so a rising cost of e-cigs may just force you to buy less beer. — PolitiTweet.org

The @IChotiner interview is one of the most misunderstood things in media — most of them are very respectful dialogues with subject matter experts. If he asks you to speak, you'll assume that's why he's interested in you. Nobody thinks of themselves as a mark. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin I guess a different way of accomplishing this would be to unbundle — right now I’m essentially getting all this Marvel content for free. — PolitiTweet.org

Me walking out of Black Panther: That was good! Maybe I underrated how much can be done with a comic book franchise! Me walking out of Wakanda Forever: I have no idea what the plot of that movie was. — PolitiTweet.org

If I were CEO of Disney, I would simply go back to making Star Wars and Marvel movies that are good. — PolitiTweet.org

@evanbear20 I do actually agree that her Trump-era performance was less impressive, but I think some of our younger posters don’t know about her finest moments. — PolitiTweet.org

Well I was right about this. That said, I don’t think AT&T/Time-Warner was even the worst merger with Time-Warner of all-time (looking at you AOL). https://t.co/T14UKj74Cd — PolitiTweet.org

@MarketInterest @IrvingSwisher Why is the asset price —> household wealth —> spending channel considered non-core here? It seems potentially important. — PolitiTweet.org

The libs say global average temperatures have been increasing for decades and will continue to do so in the decades to come, and yet it’s much colder today than it was last week. 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

What I think is less appreciated is that she was also an early — at for a long time fairly lonely — proponent of what is now the bipartisan consensus on China. https://t.co/AIlGDoRBG0 https://t.co/UPacRYn81W — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi was right about Iraq and she was right about Social Security and she had the right mix of substantive judgment and political savvy to help rescue the economy in 2008 while still bludgeoning the GOP. https://t.co/AIlGDoRBG0 https://t.co/Q0NEnWl2KS — PolitiTweet.org

The man bent over his guitar, A shearsman of sorts. The day was green. They said, "You have a blue guitar, You do not play things as they are." The man replied, "Things as they are Are changed upon the blue guitar." — PolitiTweet.org
