Yup. Our Havanese got languid, disinterested and “depressed” when we did the zoom-based Middlebury immersion language program and only spoke Franglais at home for 6 weeks. …. and yes, I realize, I did just write a line for the Crane boys in Frasier. twitter.com/lindayueh/stat…

@policytensor @IsabellaMWeber @toddntucker @JWMason1 @lrmelodia @M_C_Klein And they are … right? And they have stopped talking about transitory despite what you have just said. Not calling it transitory is one of the ways to keep it that way!

@policytensor @IsabellaMWeber @toddntucker @JWMason1 @lrmelodia @M_C_Klein Reformulating team tansitory/sectoral argument. I concede that there is a common shock. That is what your correlation shows. But you would expect it to disperse quickly as the dispersive logic visible pre-2020 reasserts itself. Whereas you think that we have unleashed the beast.

@policytensor @IsabellaMWeber @toddntucker @JWMason1 @lrmelodia @M_C_Klein That would be the sectoral side. What I am trying to get at is the causation angle. Do they move together simply because of the lockdown followed by rebound. A common factor but not a conventional inflation.

@policytensor @IsabellaMWeber @toddntucker @JWMason1 @lrmelodia Hi @policytensor thanks for taking this so seriously. I note the dramatic decline in correlation up to 2020, followed by the sudden co-movement. Is there a way of picking out the bit that is co-movement as a result of COVID-shock v. more general inflationary processes? https://t.co/kbTkAbSfIY

"The morning of May 8, 2021, might have been unremarkable for most, but in the Southwest Power Pool, which covers much of the mid-continent, new records were set.

In 2021, 39 GW of U.S. coal plants announced their decommissioning plans. That equates to 17% of the U.S. coal fleet.

The US 1st began exporting LNG in February 2016. In 2021, 13 % of US gas production was exported, making it, at least briefly, the largest exporter in the world. But Qatar has launched into a huge expansion which will soon put it ahead. eia.gov/todayinenergy/… https://t.co/jzV2VRJRSn
