      8/ I don't have time to dig through this line by line but a quick perusal shows interesting stuff. One example: H6 "monetary base" includes bank reserves. If you look at the graph from Perry in #6 in this sequence you see one big jump at the end of the 2008 financial crisis >>pic.twitter.com/kbCclRnyOY

      9/ ...right when the regulators demanded that banks increase their reserves. ...so already I see one way that the H6 climbing is not indicative of "printing" (scare quotes bc increasing money supply isn't actually done with paper and ink).

      10/ Anyway, in case it's not clear: * I think the gov is mismanaging the economy * I think the gov is creating money when it shouldn't * I think that this is causing inflation. I just don't think that the supplied graphs prove the [ true! ] claim.pic.twitter.com/u0uKIHZGMs

      11/ "why would it not"? I don't understand the question. M1 is a metric the fed created. It was what it was, and then it changed, so now it is what it is. >>>https://twitter.com/ctdonath/status/1500129618434662401 …

      Why would M1 not include savings?

      12/ There are multiple metrics that track different things. M1 != M2 != H6 ...etc. Get the old Trinity diagram up here M1 is money, M2 is money, H6 is money, M1 is not M2 ...

      13/ The reason that different things are measured is that they ARE different things. Money created via fractional reserve banking for mortgages is fairly illiquid and not subject to drastic overnight surges. Money in checking accounts is much more liquid.

      14/ Once upon a time, money in savings accounts was much harder to spend - you'd have to dig your paper passbook out of your desk drawer, put on your overcoat and go downtown to the bank, stand in line, and withdraw savings.pic.twitter.com/ISvunfTHew

      15/ Now you log into your bank website on your phone as you're standing in line at Chipotle and you move $10 from savings to checking in between saying "extra guac" and paying for the burrito. Savings are MUCH more liquid, and function more like the other items in M1.

      16/ I still don't understand the question. In the 1970s, they used to be different, and we measured them differently. Now that savings are just like checking, we added savings to M1, while keeping it in M2. I explained this in tweets #12-15.https://twitter.com/ctdonath/status/1500131584653111300 …

      Metrics meant measure something. As a mundane bank customer, I see virtually no difference between checking & savings accounts: it’s 💵 I can withdraw. Savings gets paltry interest in exchange for rarely withdrawing; checking gets 0% for frequent withdraw. Why measure only one?

      Today's Intermediate Macro lecture: Why is it important to use Divisia aggregates for the money supply rather than M0 or M2? Because otherwise you'll fall for the Schiff error (always expecting inflation) or the Woodford error (thinking money isn't important). pic.twitter.com/fns0fiJgzo

          ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Bitcoin is.

          18/ I strongly agree with this. Indices of all types need small adjustments over time, and in such cases it makes sense to keep the index name ... but HUGE adjustments seem to call for retirement of old index and creation of new.https://twitter.com/Bitcoin_is_/status/1500133143096934401 …

          What’s odd to me is that they felt the need to make their own chart more or less meaningless. If something is worth charting, chart it. If not, discontinue the chart. Why render a chart meaningless and then keep updating it? What would be the point other than sewing confusion?

          18/ As @perrymetzger said in the thread that I branched off from, yes, we all agree that federal money creation is done by the fed buying assets. HOWEVER ... that then shows up on M1, M2, H6, etc. So...I agree w sentences 2 and 2, but I disagree w 1. https://twitter.com/Glenn_somebody_/status/1500133907882258434 …
