Oh, also of interest: the headlines note that there were the most dissenters on this rates decision since 1992. Since people were looking for a rate cut the implication is that the dissenters wanted one. That is NOT CORRECT. There were four dissents. _One_ wanted an immediate rate cut, as context around the headlines would imply. The other three wanted the forward-looking possible-rate-cut-languge _removed_. They wanted no rate cut now, and they wanted the suggestion of a rate cut at the next meeting _taken out_, meaning they expect higher inflation. This is the opposite of the contextual headline implication and one should take it onboard for one's inflation expectations accordingly. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #inflation

This is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, but my inflation expectations are more in line with those of the dissenters. People see the gas/diesel price shocks. Most people aren't yet really seeing the shipping price shocks. The goods price shock hasn't hit yet, but it absolutely will; if you look you can see it coming. As for food, well, people are seeing a little foods price shock but it's mostly transportation impacts passed along so relatively low-key so far for most, but if fertiliser supplies don't get sorted - China's helping with that in eastern Asia, sharing from their considerable reserves stockpile - the hard impacts will be four to six months off. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #prices #inflation

The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

The "independent" Fed is becoming a convenient scapegoat for fiscal indiscipline. Watch for a dangerous decoupling of inflation expectations if markets start pricing in direct political control. Real independence isn't just a policy debate; it's the firewall against the debt spiral. #federalreserve #fiscaldominance #inflation

Trump’s war is the cause of higher prices across the country. Trump calls it fakeflation. Coward. He’s not even man enough to own up to the mess he’s caused. Americans deserve better than a tired old clown posing as President. #trump #IranWar #iran #inflation #epstein #EpsteinFiles #middleeast #MAGA #republicans #economy #news #politics #worldnews

Some may say something like: That's actually a good deal Espechally when one compares it to the already outrageous pricing they do regularly of close to €1 per nugget. But even that is an absurd profit margin…Like close to €40/kg kinda pricing! #Greedflation #Shrinkflation #Inflation #Greed #Enshittification

My frozen options are limited, though. Many contain ingredients I'm outright #allergic to or my body responds poorly to. One line I used to eat frequently was discontinued on #Canada and that narrowed things down even more. And the expense! As mentioned above, the #disability pension disabled people in #Alberta rely on has not been increased since 2016. Not that this pension was ever particularly generous, but I've never felt truly food-insecure since grocery #inflation began ramping up so overtly over the past 5-6 years. My family member observed (correctly) that making food can be much cheaper and i definitely healthier than the options I presently rely on. But they also know the physical challenges I face and the implications, so they assessed the kitchen not just for #access to various parts of it, but also to rearrange for usable #workflow. 21/x #usability #organisation #accessibility

We discussed my ability (and willingness) to attempt cooking food again. My relative bought some ingredients and we had an incredible #Indian dish one night (can't recall the name, apologies!) all made in the rice cooker from start to finish. Amazing!!! ❤️ 23/x #MealPrep #FoodSecurity #Inflation #poverty #accessibility #disability

The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what ECB board member Isabel Schnabel memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'. It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster. My latest just out @nature@sciencemastodon.com https://rdcu.be/fdxig #climate #iran #us #trump #oil #energy #inflation #economics

I guess I’m old. Because I see this and think, you must be out of your mind. You want $1.20 to add a slice of American cheese to a burger? GTFO with that nonsense. #Inflation #CorporateGreed

All Content from Business Insider | Americans feel worse about the economy than ever before by Juliana Kaplan,Madison Hoff Americans are feeling bad about the economy, and it's due in part to prices at the gas pump.Camden Hall/NurPhoto via Getty Images New data showed consumer sentiment slipped to a record low in April.Rising gas prices are affecting people's view of the economy.Other economic issues, like the frozen job market, are probably worsening the dreariness.Americans' economic mood can be succinctly described in one word: Terrible. While inflation soars as conflict with Iran drags on and shows up at the gas pump, consumer sentiment is plummeting. University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index, which tracks how American consumers feel about economic conditions, fell to 47.6 in April — a record low and a nearly 11% decline month-over-month.
