@Trash594227 I think it's just one person overcorrecting for people thinking incomes are much higher than they are

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

In an incredibly rare feat on this app, this tweet significantly underestimates average incomes in India

[con shoe 🌙 @RatedRChief_]

Poverty porn and its 80 percent of india. Earning 10k per month is like top 10% gtfo

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@City17Hero @RatedRChief_ Not necessarily true, depends on the distribution of income. Income is usually not normally distributed.

@Moggallanna Lol time on twt always inversely proportional to productivity

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@99prixels Oh I just realised you're talking about the guy who asked the question and not Kaplan. Lol fwiw the macro knowledge of someone in the foreign service doesn't matter much

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

Beast mode

[Greg Kaplan @GregWKaplan]

@meraman99 If by MMT you mean Modern Macroeconomic Theories, then YES!!!!

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@BurnerB24 @RatedRChief_ Yes, that's part of why it's rare to see underestimation. People usually think the incomes are much higher on here

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@99prixels Ifs? Yeah i doubt he's not heard of mmt by now lol

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@CityOrdinary How much was it earlier?

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@ANI Has he considered that this is just a well thought out strategy to deal with the political economy of air pollution without being short sighted?

@JigarShahDC BAAJA mere BAAJA dil mai samaja

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@RatedRChief_ I'm aware! 10k per month puts you closer to median incomes in India, not top 10%

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@zaeendesouza I think i was too, has he mass unblocked people

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@thedivtagguy Sometimes it's worse

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

Lmao.

For what it's worth, Peterson relying on a pseudo-psychometric test would be very on-brand (see the GPT prompt).

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

a certain kind of environmentalist will tell you we have ten years to decarbonize and then defend a review process that uses seven of them. the planet is on fire, please submit written comments before the close of the 90 day window

The fact that two Huangs are involved in an affair, but only one takes the blame is commonly known as Jensen's Inequality.

@patralekha2011 UK caps at 10

[Satvik Pendyala సాత్విక్ @Satvik_Pen]

It's even funnier when you consider that fireworks add different sort of pollutants into the air than run of the mill stubble burning so one can't be used to defend the other

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@Satvik_Pen @BhakkkBhosdike Genuinely mind numbing discourse that we shouldn't care about the spikes.

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

@swarajk_ @indiaemerges It's not weird and sus for anyone not poisoned by culture war. This is like saying the dude who was asphyxiated with the tractor fumes in dabbang is weird and sus for reacting like this because the aggregate pollution levels probably decayed after the fight scene

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

Don't whine about increasing pollution in the long run; the Kuznets curve will fix it. Don't whine about pollution in the short run; it normalizes when you transition to the long run.

[Sorrow Residual @sethposting]

Pollution doesn't cause growth, it's often a symptom of production that does. Indian pollution is in a lot of ways driven by unproductive activities but if you point out that we should try and fix that, a range of libertarian policy-bros scream at you for not understanding Econ.
