"Broadly, across economic sectors, AI isn’t visibly affecting the #jobmarket. But it’s a good layoff excuse.
So if that’s true, why are there all these #layoffs? It’s broader and long-running economic problems. You can start at the end of the zero interest rate policy [#ZIRP]." […]
It's also important to keep the lofty profit expectations of boomers in context: 62% of boomer homeowners say they've gained more wealth from their homes than from their careers
this is a truly wild statistic (and IMHO is the kind of predictable outcome of a decade of zero interest rate policy from the #Fed)

@corbden the vibecession started in at least 2022, no matter that Biden said, when ZIRP ended the artificial growth era of 2009-2020, shit’s been real, and almost nobody wants to admit it
#ZIRP. cuz monkeying around with interests rates doesn’t control the economy in the ways the FED thinks. If we are going to issue bonds they should only go to large pension funds. make them the “primary dealers” instead of wall st.
Calling them "low performers" shifts blame to individuals instead of acknowledging Meta's failures (or just the desire for higher margins).
Treating employees humanely is a #ZIRP too?
seems relevant: "Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 4.2 percent before seasonal adjustment. This is the largest 12-month increase since a 4.9-percent increase for the period ending September 2008." #ZIRP #inflation

IMHO a bit silly to say housing starts were ~2m when the #Fed last hiked. That's part of the bubble that led to #ZIRP in the first place.
Will we EVER get off zero? Thanks, Gov. Tarullo... #zirp news.investors.com/economy/081415-766573-to...

Re #liftoff, #Goldman cites "the asymmetric risk of moving too early vs. too late..." but don't forget "risks are asymmetrical at #ZIRP"

I feel old. I remember when I made enough interest to get 1099-INT statements for my savings accounts. #zirp
