This is important because even if gasoline prices stop falling and just stay constant, year-on-year gasoline inflation will steadily drop as the comparison month changes. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Separate from the YOY vs MOM issue it’s clear a lot of conservatives either don’t know or are pretending not to know that inflation is a rate of change — constant prices *means* no inflation. https://t.co/ZsaDVnBwMv — PolitiTweet.org

@J_Lovering Maybe so. I guess Paris wasn't destroyed in WW2 and while Berlin was, the Cold War then halted its growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Is Istanbul a European city? The greatest thread in the history of forums... — PolitiTweet.org

Greater Seoul has about twice as many people as Greater Paris even though France is more populated than Korea. And by European standards, France is highly centralized with Paris much bigger than Berlin, Milan, or Madrid. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Why are the biggest metro areas in Europe so much smaller than Tokyo, Seoul, or New York? Is there some standard widely accepted explanation for this? — PolitiTweet.org

@DouthatNYT On reflection, I'm a little agnostic as to how much this was genuine "misunderstanding" from Team Obama versus a deliberate strategy to avoid getting to yes while also appearing to be the more reasonable party. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that there is some distinct attribute of the FBI (?) that causes it to be non-credible in the eyes of conservatives doesn't wash. We've seen the same dynamic applied to the Bush family, to Mitt Romney, and even to Fox News when they moved against Trump post-election. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
What we've seen over and over again is that when people criticize Donald Trump those people — whether it's previous GOP presidential nominees, former Trump cabinet members, or anyone else — become redefined as enemies of the true conservative faith. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
As he says here, if clear and convincing evidence of serious wrongdoing emerges Trump's own intra-party rivals won't use it against him. But that's a very profound problem for his rivals! https://t.co/Cxfzo8eQ7o — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
There's a lot of real insight in this @philipaklein piece, but he's fundamentally confusing cause and effect. The FBI obtaining probable cause to search his mansion helps Trump because Trump has *always* had an underlying position of dominance. https://t.co/3BV8KjRfLE — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy Can’t you do that weird German ballot splitting thing? — PolitiTweet.org

Good question! The inflation reduction act will: — Modestly help the Fed slow demand by reducing the deficit — Improve the supply side energy picture by boosting domestic production — Cut prices for some prescription drugs — PolitiTweet.org

And what about... reducing inflation as the title of the bill suggests? https://t.co/OICudWTFF6

Unless you’re a freak swing voter, a good way to improve the quality of your day to day commentary on the economy is to remind yourself that you personally are going to vote for the same party you voted for last time regardless because you have strong convictions about politics. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The Inflation Reduction Act is a relatively modest spending package that breaks with some environmentalist dogmas and takes a balanced approach to energy policy — that’s good! https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og — PolitiTweet.org

@politicalelle @NickAPappas @neontaster If you guys will say the word “the claim that @neontaster made that Matt Yglesias objected to was in fact false, was wrong and Matt was right” then we could move on and debate other matters. But factually, he was wrong and I was right. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin I think this 100% started with sincere confusion, but then instead of saying “oh I misunderstood” folks are derping around based on partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

This dope said, in public, on the internet, that “there was not zero inflation in July.” I said, correctly, that he was wrong. Now he admits there was zero inflation in July but he’s lying and pretending he never said it — astounding behavior, like a toddler. https://t.co/BXo8ZRJxFX — PolitiTweet.org

I find this is a frequent Twitter dynamic. Someone says something that isn’t true, I say “that thing you said isn’t true,” and then that person’s ideological allies point out that had the person made some different claim that claim would have been true. But so what? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Absolutely true. If conservatives had reacted to one month of good inflation news by saying “it’s just one month” I would not have objected. What happened instead was they made false statement so I corrected them. — PolitiTweet.org
Mike Worth @MJWorth63
@mattyglesias No economist or otherwise non-drugged normal person quotes a one month number as reflective of anything. It’s one data point.
