      10/ Inflation is a MEASURE of prices increasing, not a CAUSE of it. Reported inflation AVERAGES price changes across multiple products. Electronics have gotten a ton cheaper. Health care has gotten more expensive. Vehicle prices up ...in nominal termshttps://twitter.com/braxton_mccoy/status/1317202794953142272 …

      Inflation isn't causing prices to increase?

      11/ But vehicle prices are DOWN in absolute terms. High school grad made $26,653 in 1990. Made $40,000 in 2010. Prob made $45,000 or so in 2020. So it's EXACTLY as easy for a high school grad to buy a F-350 in 2020 as it was in 1990 except >>>

      12/ The F-350 on the lot in 2020 is a much much better vehicle. It's got airbags, better mean time between failure, more fuel efficient, less susceptible to corrosion, MUCH better impact protection. It's better to be a HS grad buying a 350 today than 30 years ago!

      13/ gosh, if I could do it over again, I would have put URLs in tweet #8 in this thread so that people could have clicked and found out what data I was using. Might even label the URLs with the word "cites". Oh well, too late now.https://twitter.com/25th_Prestige/status/1317205054152077312 …

      Which F350 were you buying in 1990 for $19k? Which 2020 F350 are you buying for $37k? I feel like this isn't an apples to apples comparison based on my (extensive) experience.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Swamp Yankee

      14/ Yes, F-350s are absolutely work trucks (or, at least, can be. Out here in farm country, though, I see about 10x as many of them being driven to the liquor store with nothing in the bed, as I see hauling cargo) But the thread started with a claim >https://twitter.com/ndwpdx/status/1317206291333275648 …

      This is a work truck. Seriously. The guy who owns the tiny drilling rig outfit that just drilled our well has one. He's older, and modestly successful, and wants to drive something that reflects that, while still having a V8 diesel to haul shit. Not gonna judge.

      15/ that: * this affected the poor and middle class * the price has gone up to unreasonable levels, bc inflation * the price is now $75,000 * and [ implicitly ] this is the lowest tier that solves the problem, ignoring that this is the luxury tier with tons of doodads and bling
