Stroller with his nonsense once again, some more back of the envelope calculations it seems like.
What about all of the other points (not made by Stoller)?
Is Stoller wrong about the shipping cartel's price increases?

1. What other specific points? There's so much throwing shyt it at the wall in those tweets in an attempt to create a oversimplified good vs evil narrative that you'll have to narrow down which points you think are most relevant.
2. He's likely overstating the impact of the shipping companies actions on pricing relative to other factors and the data he lays out is filled with so much noise that it doesn't support the level of grandstanding and illusory precision in his argument.
Stollers predictable oversimplified us vs them shtick helps push narratives and gets folks emotionally charged so I'm not surprised at his popularity on here.

Where was Matt Stoller cited?

The very first tweet is citing an article from his substack and actually tagging him in the tweet.

The tweet in regards to the Port of Shanghai does have plenty of merit but I generally agree with your assessment here.

Looks like he’s moved from blaming corporations and now blaming the Biden administration.
