Went over like a lead balloon, as we used to say.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, whose wealth is his wife's, peddles the myth that the Fed is in control
This country eats, drinks, and sleeps inflation in the post-war . . . at 3.4% since 1948.
It's the cover for the haves to rob the have-nots. The Fed's job is to keep it going, just at a lower level than the 4.4% of the last six years, while telling you that they work for you when they actually work for the banks and the corporations.

Warsh previously has said he expects an AI productivity boom will prove disinflationary — a premise challenged by some economists as well as his fellow Fed policymakers. ...
Gee, I hope it's not this disinflationary:

Global shipping industry sounds the alarm over Trump’s Hormuz toll plan
... Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd has said it is “fundamentally wrong” to charge tolls for passage through international waters, regardless of the country in charge.
“Tolls for infrastructure such as the Suez Canal or Panama Canal are different, because they reflect major infrastructure investments,” the firm said in a statement. “That is not the case in the Strait of Hormuz.” ...
