|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: Massaging a single number is easy. Massaging a preference field is a lot harder.
ā€œCost of Livingā€ is a Field on preference space. We donā€™t calculate preferences, taste change or real substitution effects. AT ALL. We are lying about inflation as a Cost Of Living framework.

|content=Dear @paulkrugman:
How about going further:
A) Why were so many other folks right about inflation?
B) Admit we pretend to calculateĀ  ā€œcost of livingā€ inflation as a NUMBER when it is a FIELD on preference space and must be reported as such to be real?

Why are economists *pretending* to do Cost-Of-Living analysis? https://t.co/bGwhc25ogj

|content=1/n Have you wondered why folks you previously thought of as Left of Center, are appearing on @TuckerCarlson, @EpochTimes, @theblaze, etc.?
Itā€™s effectively the story behind this tweet. Before 2011, outfits like @npr were left leaning news services. About 10yrs ago that changed.

|content=I used to talk to folks at @cnn, @npr, @washingtonpost etc all the time on inflation, physics, immigration, science policy, etc. Then, mysteriously reporters slowly started complaining about the situation at work much more. It seemed like we went from news with spin to narrative.

|content=Narrative driven news was the @nytimes special brand. On the one hand it *was* written with lively prose. On the other hand, I hated the idea that the narrative arc was constructed to fit facts that sometimes hadnā€™t even happened yet.
This idea of narrative beyond spin took off.

|content=I can probably figure out the last time a reporter called me up trying to understand a story as opposed to trying to get grist for a gotcha piece. But it seems like years ago.
So what happened? Many democrats tried to go back to @NPR etc., but found a door slammed in their face.

|content=Eventually we took the hint. Journalism at prestige legacy media properties was changing. News desks were dropping stories entirely that didnā€™t fit house narratives. They werenā€™t forced to report them and spin them. They would just spike a story that previously would be a scoop.
