Treating the Fed’s independence as a joke is very disturbing. And so predictable at this point.

They want to stuff the Fed full of MAGA stooges so they'll then drop rates to whatever level "Dear Leader" decrees they should be

At some point (should have happened already but we’re too busy playing hot potato with volatility) the stove will stay hot and Captial will panic and all of this will have been equally predictable.

I agree, but where are they going to panic to? Gold, crypto, Europe, cash?

If the question is “what is going to happen when it sinks in that the USD can no longer function as a reserve currency because of opacity and corruption?” —my answer is “Something very bad. Probably many very bad things with second and third order effects I am unqualified to predict.”

The guy isn’t even that original or clever. Pathetic.

This notion has become nauseating. We are months; not years from totally morphing in an authoritarian dictatorship unless something is done. Thankfully, there are powerful efforts underway to de-throne the 'king.' If those fail to engage, my fear is that our democracy won't survive beyond 2025.
