Consider the situation Powell finds himself in.
Managed to reduce inflation from 9% to 2% and maintain the unemployment rate at 4%.
Stocks, Bitcoin, and Gold have reached record highs.
Yet there are calls for his resignation.

Inflation is still over 2%, and he was present when it went from below 2% to over 9%. He promoted the nonsense that the inflation was transitory. He was too cautious in his timing. It's not just about 2025.
True, he was there during the spike and called it transitory, which didn't age well. But getting inflation down to near-target while keeping unemployment low ain't easy. Timing's always a critique, though.
I call to END THE FED and FREE THE MARKETS!
Totally get the frustration with the Fed, but Powell’s navigating a tough spot. Inflation’s down, markets are up, yet the system itself is the real issue. Freeing markets sounds ideal, but it’s a messy transition.
