Long decline — driving has gotten a lot safer over the long run — but a sudden worsening during the pandemic, albeit one that still left the roads a lot safer than they were in 1990. Remind you of anything? 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Being a nerd, I did some research: driving really did get worse during the pandemic, with fatalities rising even though miles drive were down 2/https://t.co/5qOAC5I3E0 — PolitiTweet.org

For some reason, this morning I'm thinking about ... bad driving. The other day I did around 4 hours of highway driving, and maybe it was just me, but people seemed crazier than usual: everyone either doing 45 in the left lane or swerving between lanes at 85 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

So the R position is that infrastructure must be paid for, but no taxes may be raised, nor can there even be any effort to crack down on tax cheats. Did you really think there was going to be a deal? https://t.co/oFu17VARVj — PolitiTweet.org

For Republicans, being crazy is rational because it signals their loyalty. Unfortunately, this logic is killing people https://t.co/TgYmODyD5U — PolitiTweet.org

You really don't want to make too much of daily market movements. But for what it's worth, the story as of now seems to be Larry Summers on his head: plunging stock prices AND plunging bond yields amount to a declaration that stimulus looks inadequate — PolitiTweet.org

It seems clear to me that the less-used measures are telling a more accurate story: used car prices and hotel rates don't belong in core inflation. Markets seem to get that; economic reporting less so 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
Paul Krugman @paulkrugman
Which measure of core inflation should you use? It didn't really matter: they all told the same story — until now. But in the post-pandemic, conventional core is running very hot, while other measures, especially median inflation, not 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Strengthening your core: The theory of core inflation has been a huge success story: people who understood it avoided the inflation panics of 2008 and early 2011 (remember Paul Ryan accusing Bernanke of "debasing the dollar"?) 1/ https://t.co/8VpjVhzrvJ — PolitiTweet.org

This, by Gorton and Zhang, is very good: stablecoins are just a modern version of free banking, in which private banks issued their own notes supposedly backed by specie. That system was crisis-ridden, and the same will be true no https://t.co/KQynhZfgVK — PolitiTweet.org

The scary thing is that these right-wing Red Guards have hijacked a party that wasn't always crazy; lots of Americans will vote R because they don't realize what the party has become. And our system is structurally biased toward that party 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

What makes this dynamic possible, of course, is the abdication of the party's saner elements — without credible threats to discipline the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, it end up being a race to the bottom, or actually a race to maximum crazy 5/ — PolitiTweet.org
