You know what else allows the economy?

Massive, un-targetted tariffs aimed at our allies and randomly putting them in and out, and putting unreasonable tariffs on China without having a plan in place.

    Thats not how this shit works you fucken baboon. You listen to the chair, they’re the experts. I dont like Powell nearly as far as I can throw him but hes nowhere near a disaster like you.

      yeah, this is purely preemptive to cast blame on powell as the entire us economy tanks.

      as far as I am aware the feds focus is still entirely on trying to control inflation. what trump is demanding from powell would almost certainly lead to stagflation - economic contraction with increased inflation, and that is as bad as it sounds.

      I dont think there is any better means to impoverish the general us population faster than trumps apparent “plan”. the wealthy, however, will be perfectly fine.

        Well, they will be fine until a desperate population with more guns than people starts starving.

        Then all bets are off.

          we just have to get past the machine gun turrets and mechs. but, yeah… this feels like its gonna get really bad, really fast, on purpose.

          was talking to a “non-political” associate today and he dropped a nugget about how the media is telling him the economy is slowly improving. didnt have time to ask what media he was consuming and I am not sure he would admit to watching fox (but I think he does). I reminded him that he just pulled his house off the market because of no interest. this entire country has become delusional.
