@JaPol00129456 We’re not talking past each other at all, I’m making a simple factual statement and he started out with a sincere misunderstand (because he’s dumb) that he’s now doubling down on (because he’s intellectually sloppy). — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The hill that I am literally going to die on is that there was a zero percent inflation rate in July because it’s true. This dipshit won’t just say “that’s true” even though it’s true, so he keeps shifting around to other claims. — PolitiTweet.org

The “semantic game” Biden is playing is staying the statistics accurately and using the words to mean what they mean. Do rightists think stocks jumped after that CPI print because Dark Brandon deceived financial markets? Stop being such whiny morons. — PolitiTweet.org
Noam Blum @neontaster
So you’re admitting that Biden is playing semantic games here. Thank you. https://t.co/9LxsXg6kQV

The real pain is going to come when Q1 GDP is revised upward to converge with GDI and the “recession” goes away. — PolitiTweet.org

At any rate, hope everyone is looking forward to redoing this “debate” in 66 minutes when the PPI report comes out. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
On left, 12 months of CPI prints as levels. You can see it went up a lot for eleven months and was flat in July. On right, 12 months of inflation — rates of change. It was high for eleven months and zero (actually very slightly negative in July). There’s no trick here. https://t.co/d9QVNWVw2u — PolitiTweet.org

This is just not true. Conservatives are making fools of themselves about nothing. — PolitiTweet.org
Erielle Davidson @politicalelle
@mattyglesias No change from the previous month does not mean zero inflation. It means inflation is consistently bad.

@Itsjoeco @TheStalwart Seasonal adjustment ≠ year on year growth. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Look, it’s just one month — maybe in August or September or October prices will go up a lot again. But year on year inflation is just a concatenation of months. We already knew that prices rose a lot in the previous eleven months. The new information was about July. — PolitiTweet.org

Guy who doesn’t know inflation is, by definition, a rate of increase. — PolitiTweet.org
Noam Blum @neontaster
There was not zero inflation in July. It was still 8.5%. There was zero increase, not zero inflation. https://t.co/V0oy4jTLqd

“Sure was hot in July” “Not if you average in the previous eleven months, asshole!” — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Can’t believe the Biden White House claimed there was zero inflation in July just because when they July inflation data came in that’s what it said. — PolitiTweet.org

A movie about an ex-president who’s also a serial killer. An FBI profiler has the goods on him but everyone agrees it would be inappropriate to serve a warrant on a former president’s house so he just keeps killing with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Last but not least, the 111th Congress did more than people remember — not because Obama was a magician (he mishandled some key stuff!) but because that was a really big majority. https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og https://t.co/4SHe4VG9an — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think the right point to make about the IRA’s energy title is that it’s an extremely balanced, pragmatic approach that takes on a lot of Big Green sacred cows — it’s what Republicans pretend they want, but they’re too dug in on rich people and Big Oil. https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og https://t.co/DVUtQGMZbW — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I know it’s hard for people who spend a lot of time on the internet to believe, but “guy who is frustrated that Democrats aren’t left-wing enough” is an extremely rare kind of guy. There’s no upside to exaggerating the extent of policy change. https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think there are three basic problems with this: — It’s factually wrong — It underrated the value of winning lots of congressional seats — It’s politically counterproductive https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og https://t.co/1CkfIACJqf — PolitiTweet.org

@awprokop @MattZeitlin A Dem director would have the credibility to just say “for political reasons we’ve decided it’s okay for Trump to break the law but here’s the evidence if you’re curious.” — PolitiTweet.org

@awprokop @MattZeitlin It seems like someone should try appointing a Democratic FBI Director at some point. — PolitiTweet.org

And I sort of get it, claiming to have achieved optimality is arrogant and suggests you’re an annoying person and possibly a bad hang. But the less-obnoxious bad habit of not even trying is more harmful to the world — not least because it’s so much more widespread. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
That’s human nature, the humility of the bird guy is appealing while the hubris of claiming that your cause is the best and most important cause is threatening. So a huge amount of flagrantly, willfully non-optimal philanthropic work goes unscrutinized. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In other words if you say “I work on preserving bird breeding grounds in rural Maryland” people say “fair enough.” But if you say “I work on mass deworming programs in Africa and I think this is the best cause in the world” people feel highly motivated to tear down your claims. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
An point I’m stealing from my wife is that lots of people dedicate their lives to nonprofits that *nobody* believes are working on the world’s most important problems and nobody gets mad at them over it. The boldness of the claim “X really matters a lot” triggers people. — PolitiTweet.org
