Federal Reserve Chairman not sole deciding vote to raise/lower interest rates

Don’t know why that first panel blanked out:

Information on power of fed reserve chair — not sole authority on lowering/raising rates

Information on power of fed reserve chair — not sole authority on lowering/raising rates

Exactly. That’s my worry.

But, I looked this up and there is some hope that this toady Fed chair nominee (he even looks weak) can’t solely raise/lower rates.

This was ChatGPT generated so confirmation on accuracy needed.

Trump’s fed reserve chair nominee hearing going on now. He vows independence from Trump. 🤔🤨

There ought to be a law that any nominee—for any position in government—who obviously misleads the Senate in order to be confirmed, can be immediately impeached and removed by a minority vote in the Senate.

Trump’s fascination — and connections in the WWF — could explain how he faked the “assassination” attempt. It was a “stunt.”

The guy’s crazy. I finally made that point strong enough for him to block me. 😂 I think the final straw was when I pointed out his ignorance about Alex Jones and Sandy Hook and Auroras being normal (tho infrequent) events and not a NASA conspiracy.

The guy needs pysche help before he goes off 🔫 yk?

Oh boy—another conspiracy eh?

There has been high solar activity (electrically charged particles) which has been creating auroras seen as far south as Texas over the last couple of YEARS! It’s normal

NOAA reports them; other science sites too.
Everyone knows this!

Man… are you ever out of it.

Alex Jones lost everything because of Sandy Hook.

You’re not liberal and you’re not a Democrat.

You’re a chronic complainer.

A congenital whiner.

You feel sorry for yourself don’t you? Poor abused little boy. Even girls beat you up, apparently.

If you really do have kids — God help them.

You’re a bad role model.

Like who?
You?

I looked through your feed—you hate everyone, everthing. You’re all rants, complaints, nasty comments with the undertone of “poor me. 😭”

You are obviously a very unhappy person. And no one is talking to you, are they?

I tried to help you.

You’re beyond that. You’ll never change.

lol…
Your jealousy is getting the best of you. That is, assuming you have a best. Doubt it.

I think you know you’re a loser and that’s why you lash out at everyone.

Btw: on your profile be honest and add:

Anti-Democrat 🚫
Misanthrope

Bernie Sanders is way older than me so he’s a shit head too?

You apparently are not doing much while you sit on SM half the day ranting as you do.

I don’t know your age but you seem pretty juvenile. Criticizing everything and everyone with your F-bombs and other vulgarities. Whining. Blah blah.

Why you don’t you try doing something positive for a change?

Well… If you had to work under Trump — if you were stupid enough to get sucked into his career-ruining cesspool, you might want to drink a lot too. Or snort cocaine (Hi Little Marco 👋) or otherwise stayed stoned.

If you think my friend Sandi
Is correct
Drop a 🦋 and share

Everything he does is to distract from all the bad things he has done and continues to do.

Aww… Boots looks just like a dog I knew (neighbor’s) when I was ten years old. Named Clinker. Spitting image!

We’ve hit a point in the news cycle where trump can no longer move people around to make it look like no one’s been fired

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Biden was a far better president than he’s ever been given credit for being.

We have too many voices demanding “purity” of “perfection” tests/standards. No one and nothing is without flaws.

So those who criticized Biden, Harris and other Democrats are responsible for putting Trump in the WH.

Who else agrees Biden was—without a doubt—a better president than Trump could ever be? #VoteYesVirginia

Gotta love this!

Anyone who knows anything about golf knows —just from this photo—that Trump has a horrible swing and is a lousy golfer. He cheats, of course, and his toadies let him get away with it. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-humili...

But there are really good people and great reporting on Substack.

Investors invest for potential profit but don’t always influence content. Some try, of course…

Purity is no longer possible — if ever it was.

Certainly it is within presidential powers to stop a war. He is the “commander-in-chief,” the head of the military.

Ending the Lebanon war is an Israeli decision and supposedly they’ve ceased fire.

He doesn’t want to stop any war. He’s a madman. I think he’s itching to drop nuclear bombs.

We all known he is completely bonkers. Right?

But he is right about a few things:

He surrounds himself with losers — no longer claims them to be the “best.”

And — he can and is figuratively walking down Fifth Avenue shooting and no one is stopping him.

Clearly …
And he better not be able to “take home” that Qatar luxury jet!

And the divine idol of millions of MAGAs, and traitorous power mongers in the Republican Party.

Oh no! Kicked off? Your writings must be really well researched and 🎯.

Sorry I’ve missed them.

Let me know when you start on Substack. You won’t get off there. Pretty sure.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

The younger voters not only were not born during the rise of Hitler but apparently they were not sufficiently educated to understand what he was and did. And what both two World Wars were about.
