>You mean that it labor becomes cheaper?
yeah, fed increases rates, makes money more expensive. intent is to reduce demand for labor, and prevent the "wage price spiral"

>What do you mean by this?
Companies and wealthy are not allowed to lose, I miss words sometimes.

>It's true that employment is good, but why do they need to damage this velocity? As long as inflation goes down, it doesn't matter if employment is "too high".
I've looked at policy drivers for the fed. Based on what I saw, as in actual action, the first rate hikes happened when there was an extreme demand for labor driving up the cost of labor. Stocks, commodities, and housing didn't matter until the cost of labor increased too much.

The rationale behind it is if wages are higher, then there will be increased spending and therefore increased demand on goods/services, further driving up prices. And yeah, I'll say there's some logic there, kinda like if you were airdropping stimulus checks and massive unemployment payouts to a large portion of the population. It just gets spent. Big demand on static supplies.

But I believe that no matter which way you cut it, inflating the money supply and debasing the currency has permanent consequences. What is stocks/crypto/housing but a blowout valve for the massive amounts of money being created? The buck has to stop somewhere. Someone has to take the fall so we can have money printing without massive inflation.

I'm sure you've seen picrel before. What happened in 1973?

This will never ever stop until we make it stop. Go after the CEOs and The Central Banks, anything else is a distraction

Things have gradually been getting worse since 1973
