Nope. Powell has done an overall good job. He engineered a soft landing, after high single digit inflation. Volker didnā€™t. The market trusts Powell.

LOL - no. His ego is big enough. That should only be done 20 years after the fact for any president, once the legacy is clear.

Simply amazing to see the US Treasury Secretary talking positively about Bitcoin. Ten years ago, I could barely find a news article on it, and searched random message boards to learn about it. How far weā€™ve come. ā¤ļø

Today's 2.3% GDP shows that the US economy is reverting back into the pre-Covid type trend of low inflation and low, but stable economic growth. This ain't the 70s, it ain't the late 90s tech boom and it ain't the roaring 20s.

Holy cow. I hope this one bad apple doesnā€™t publicly taint the entire organization. Fed detractors seem to be growing in number (at least on X). cnbc.com/2025/01/31/ex-ā€¦

Crypto companies are walking in the front door at the SEC to have constructive conversations about what good policy should look like. For the first time ever. Literally. We've barely begun to unlock crypto's potential in the USA. The next couple years are going to be massive.

Pro tip So I bought the same TV for multiple rooms (remotes work for every TV) thinking I could solve this problem. BUT, my teenage daughterā€™s room eats remotes bc her room is impossibly messy, which thwarted my strategy. Donā€™t make this mistake, or you too will be picking

How bout just do your part to control the boarder? Iā€™m no fan of tariffs, but Trump is right that Mexico can and should do more. No 3D chess necessary.

It is, and it isnā€™t. Thereā€™s been growing sentiment over the past several decades that the US needs to focus on whatā€™s best for its own ppl. And whether itā€™s lost jobs to China, foreign aid, Mexican border, or NATO countries not stepping up, many ppl are fed up. When Al-Qaeda

Itā€™s hard to find a study that says tariffs are smart ā€œeconomicā€ policy for the US. Tariffs seem especially ill timed now that unemployment is near historic lows.
