As a non-economist, if Don replaces Jerome with a lacky, I imagine that we will be in for an unprecedentedly wild ride given how much trump is trying to demand interest rate cuts.
Yes, and inflation is going to go fuckin’ nuts if that happens

Good thing we are all super informed and know how to hedge against it with a little something I have been talking about for almost a decade :Chirp:

You dudes forget the fed chair needs senate confirmation?

I'm not sure if you've been following anything at all, but if Trump wants a 5 year old with special needs to be the fed chair, a 5 year old with special needs is going to be the fed chair.

Are we finally at a tipping point here? This bill appears to potentially be a death knell for many rural areas. I'm not a rural KS expert by any means, but i've read enough to know that many of these small towns are almost dead anyway and if they lose nearby hospitals, they are truly effed. Their already minuscule property values are just going to decline further but they prob don't care much about that because they are going to die in their homes anyway because there is no nearby healthcare. Maybe this is a comment in another or its own thread, but i'm genuinely curious. These people are absolutely mumped right?

This is as silly as when you guys were dead set that mass deportations of American citizens were imminent. The short list is already out there. Spoiler alert it's old white economist finance types like it's always been.
