      Oh don’t worry he just fired the head of the BLS because they dared report the truth lol.

      “The state has decided that this report is not in the interest of the people”

    Sorry for the Reddit and Twitter links, but this meme is old, at least two years old, and the watermark for the creator of this seems to be from @johnhackerla on Twitter who seems like someone I wouldn’t trust with monetary policy.

    I’m not sure which day the stock market was like this in 2022-2023 but I assume it was during the period where the Fed was trying to manage a “soft landing” coming out of the Covid pandemic and avoiding a recession.

    Should be Trump taking the selfie, not Powell. It’s Trump’s tariffs and erratic behavior destroying the business climate and tanking the economy. Powell is just trying to keep inflation in check and avoid destruction of the dollar.

    Something about this and the printing money meme just destroy me.

    Maybe I’m laughing harder because everything’s fucked
