This chart, illustrating how central bank direct holdings of gold now exceed those of U.S. Treasuries for the first time in some thirty years, is attracting significant attention. #gold #centralbanks #markets #bonds
It's just not credible for the Fed to claim to have a 2% inflation target when it's been 53 months above target and moving higher & they shift to further easing.
Yes, where ARE they?!? They are not showing up, therefore, one must be oneโs own hero. Or notโฆand then see the consequences. You say you fight everyday, so I am not directing this at you, but to those who are waiting for someone to save them.
This is what one says when they hold a position that they are not qualified to hold. Job security is the goal here and itโs true of every department head in this administration. Others, like Bessent & Nutlick, who SHOULD know better, are compromised. Make the unredacted Epstein files public!
We need to make Jan the hero he is
The explanation needs to detail examples of the consequences; needs to show how a Fed takeover is to the detriment of the average citizen. As it stands, I expect, non-Wall Street types wonโt translate the consequences on their own because most donโt know how this could affect them personally.
Noone will remotely care until they need those institutions for their own selfish health needs. We have become an extremely stupid country. Darwin tried to take out these idiots in 2020 but scientist came and rescued the morons.

Case study: Erdogan replaced technocrats with loyalists and kept rates low when they needed to rise. Inflation soared to 86%, and is still painfully high. Thatโs the playbook Trump's floating. Keep the Fed independent if you want low inflation without the drama.
Wow!

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
Don't forget that the Fed is not only about the price of money. It has broad regulatory responsibilities whose enforcement could be weaponized for political and personal purposes, and it has an infinite balance sheet crony capitalists would love to get their hands on.

Huh. The day after meeting with the CEO of Apple (who doesn't manufacture anything in the US, they do buy Corning Gorilla Glass and have shifted most processor supply to US fabs), the administration calls for the CEO of Intel (who fabs almost all processors in the US) to resign. Scale, meet thumb.
During Trumpโs first term, Ivanka famously had 41 trademark applications fast-tracked and approved by the Chinese government 18 of them also involved the president If the CEO of Intel must resign because he is connected to Chinese companies Shouldnโt Trump do the same

US politicians have subpoenaed former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein, in a major escalation of the controversy surrounding the investigation into the notorious sex offender. http://jrnl.ie/6783198
