Agree but my life experience tells me all those big names have fully enshitified. That is, they are fully mining all possible revenue streams and couldnt possibly extract more in a NEW way from their customers or vendors. Theyre at laffer curve equilibrium, so to speak. Mcdonalds, we all know how expensive theyve gotten that the value offering isnt worth visiting them, even to save time. Theyre not a bad company but they cant extract MORE value to sustain the growth RATE theyve enjoyed since covid. Apply that to every big name company. Attention and our schedules are saturated. Our population is peaking. Idk im jist not sure where the growth will come from aside from taking on more debt to be repaid with inflation..
Be far better if Dwayne Johnson reverted back to his Rock persona for this role: “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK THE INTEREST RATE SHOULD BE!”
Donald is like, "Watch how easy it is to govern... CHANGE THE INTEREST RATE TO 1% THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
JUNE JOBS DATA COULD DECIDE JULY RATE CUT: TD SECURITIES Two Fed officials back a July rate cut, but most aren’t ready yet. TD Securities says it may take a big miss in Thursday’s June jobs report to trigger a cut. If unemployment jumps toward the Fed’s 4.5% year-end forecast (from 4.2% in May), easing could come sooner, TD notes. While TD doesn’t expect such a sharp rise, it says the risk isn’t low. TL,DR : good/neutral data = market slightly up or stays flat, bad data = market bigly up

Jerome has to wait about 6 months before the Fed catches up to public opinion. I'm sure they've been aware of how cooked the economy is, but he probably won't be able to say YUGE RATE HIKES until sometime in July. Market is probably going to stay green until then imo, unless I'm missing something.

BANK OF AMERICA CEO SAYS RESEARCH TEAM DOES NOT SEE RATE CUTS THIS YEAR DUE TO THE STICKY INFLATION and the market pumps on this
These idiots don’t understand inflation. They think inflation is printing money. They don’t understand that inflation, by definition, is the RATE OF CHANGE IN THE PRICE.
We want Janet, she’s a good girl. She listens to the people. RATE CUTS
It's typical Trump. In an ideal system, lowering interest rates can lead people to take money out of savings and spend it instead, thus causing some increase in GDP. Just like how tariffs, used extremely strategically, can help domestic industry. But this asshole seems to just work within the confines of the one or two things he sorta understands. He's probably like WHY WON'T POWELL LOWER THE INTEREST RATE WE COULD HAVE A BOOMING ECONOMY IF HE WOULD LOWER IT TO ZERO. Meanwhile I'm sure a million people who are smarter than me at this could point out why that isn't going to work right now.
