An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

a tweet from EJ Antoni that reads "Import prices just came in WAAAY below expectations: June was up just 0.1% M/M, -0.2% Y/Y, while May saw a huge downward revision from flat to -0.4% M/M; still waiting for tariffs to be passed on by foreign producers..."

I replied "The import price index measure pre-tariff prices, the fact that pre-tariff prices are basically flat means Americans are paying the tariffs. Though I wouldn’t expect a Heritage foundation guy like yourself to be smart enough to understand basic stuff like that."
