I couldn't stop myself from looking this up: Ohio has a very high rate of deaths of despair per 100,000 people, roughly twice as high as the rate in New York 5/ https://t.co/Qv1snyKxRv — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, there are bad places and people (although New Yorkers are, on the whole, remarkably considerate and helpful when it counts.) But that's true anywhere 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Jackson Heights any day of the week, to see the decency of the world's most diverse neighborhood; Brighton Beach, for a bit of my own cultural heritage. Every New Yorker probably has their own special places 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, there are places in NYC I like to visit when I want to feel good about humanity. Riverside Park on a nice afternoon, to see people (and their dogs) enjoying themselves in a huge variety of ways 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of people ragging on this, and rightly so. But important to realize that Vance isn't a fool, he's a fraud. He knows perfectly well that NYC isn't a hellhole; but he's playing to a right-wing base he holds in contempt 1/ https://t.co/3qVaMAoaO2 — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed. And when the Pareto coeff changes this is what u see. But lots of ppl didn’t see this. They thought it was college v non or something — PolitiTweet.org

But KY is under the delusion that it hates big govt while in fact big govt is the only thing that saves it from economic desperation 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
Paul Krugman @paulkrugman
Mainly, that's bc KY is relatively poor, so pays little in taxes, and has high disability rates, meaning relatively high benefits from Social Security and spending by Medicare/Medicaid. So it's govt programs doing what they're supposed to 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
Paul Krugman @paulkrugman
On average, residents of KY receive $14K more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes — making the state the nation's #1 welfare recipient 2/ https://t.co/o1Gvy3ooRR — PolitiTweet.org

Agreed about the fractal nature of inequality — but can't help pointing out that I introduced that concept in "Peddling prosperity" back in 1994 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tariff Man and the price of used cars https://t.co/vUMyGs7K4S — PolitiTweet.org
Paul Krugman @paulkrugman
Haven't seen anyone else flag this, but used car prices dropped in June. Only a little, but another sign that a lot of recent inflation is transitory https://t.co/C1xP95khqd — PolitiTweet.org

Whichever way this turns out, let's hope that the opposing sides in this debate do what the inflationistas of the Obama era never did: admit they were wrong, and try to learn from their mistakes 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, markets can be wrong. Circa 2005 Dean Baker and others, including yours truly, saw compelling evidence for a housing bubble, which the markets shrugged off; the bubbleheads, as Kudlow called us, were right 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
