At what point did you realize Jerome Powell is actually based?

At what point did you realize Jerome Powell is actually based?

Like 2018? He's been good at his job for a while.

Just close the fucking door

He's quite literally the only reason the US hasn't balkanized yet

He’s just doing his job, which he is competent at. As a public figure in current year may as well mean he’s a superhuman demigod.

I like to imagine a world in which jerome was a "they haydus cuz they anus" or "our beef is beautiful" type of retard and I think it would increase my amusement over current events at least twofold

This. He’s basically carrying the U.S. on his back at this point and mopping up after the various dipshit policies both parties, and it is both parties, are engaging in. From a certain point of view you could almost say he enables this shit by making these people think he’s always on standby to come to rescue them.

I realized Jerome Powell is actually based when he started making bold moves to stabilize the economy during tumultuous times, balancing between inflation concerns and promoting growth.

Trump is ultimately a big fucking cuck.
Everyone pushes his shit in.
Lots of bluster in his first term about auditing the Fed. Nothing.
Lots of cringey bluster about Fort Knox recently. Nothing.
Even fucking Zelensky is dominating him. Aid still flowing, no mineral deal.
Of course Powell is going to bend Trump over. His healthy BMI alone should tell you that. Trump can't master his most fundamental appetites.

let's just vote for him, he seems like he's almost old enough

Now that you mention it, he really has lost all his "madman" factor this term, it's cost him a lot of respect.

putin makes deals with him to not bomb ukrainian energy infrastructure - bombs it literally the same day

Bibi wipes his ass with the ceasefire he made - right after trump declares he's gonna take gaza

Says he's going to take over greenland - can't even get them to accept a visit from the vice president a month later

Tries to take control of the panama canal (by giving parts we don't have to blackrock lmao) - xi cucks the deal

tries to single out canada - ends up uniting them with europe instead

tries to single out china - ends up uniting china, korea and japan somehow

If jerome cucks him or ron paul's anti tariff legislation goes through, he might actually go insane.

Jerome Powell was nominated to serve as chair by Trump himself after all.
And he let inflation rise to 9% in 2022 by dragging out covid monetary policies.

Can't wait for the next belated cuts and panic QE, causing even more inflation.
Good work, Mr. Powell!

When he held that Jacks Sons Hole conference and said the economy is doomed but everything went up instead for the next year. That's when I knew he's fully in control and is not just a retard pressing random buttons

It has been a slow process for me. Sometime over the last 2-3 years

Why do you like to lie about China, Japan, and Korea working together?

At a press conference on the 1st, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Muto Yoji denied the Chinese media's report that Japan, China and South Korea have agreed to jointly respond to the Trump administration's strengthened tariff measures, saying, "There is no agreement at all."

According to Reuters, China's state-run China Central Television (CCTV) reported on the Japan-China-South Korea agreement on March 31. It was revealed in a post on the Chinese short message posting site "Weibo." The three countries said they agreed to strengthen cooperation in the supply chain and to further dialogue on export control.

The three countries held a meeting of the economic and trade ministers of Japan, China and South Korea on the 30th. Muto, who attended the meeting, explained that "there was absolutely no discussion (as reported by Chinese media)." He said, "I think that talk of 'exchanging opinions' led to this."

held a meeting of the economic and trade ministers

there was absolutely no discussion

So what the fuck was that then, an orgy? Did Epstein have a fresh batch delivered

I never did, I just waited for him to do something good so I could decide if he was based or a virgin, my vision of the world turned black and white when after watching a chart on dextools for 23 hours straight I fell asleep and let a good opportunity pass me by, I'm just a hurt man

the moment he was willing to do a 75bp jump

I would have probably voted for him if he ran for President desu

since he is old and will die soon who will be he successor and how will that person fuck everything up?

He's from Carlyle Group and close friends with people like Rubenstein. Americans have never had a better Fed chairman, who is obviously not intimidated by Trump's authoritarianism.

Oh fuck, can't believe I forgot about the chair incident.

Reminder he is a trump pick

biz now has a keynesian infestation

lol

He is only based when he prints

He went way overboard with QE and allowed the rate to remain near zero for way too long, which fired up inflation. And now he's waiting too long to ease, which will result in a recession.

I'm making money either way so I dont give a shit but his incompetence and/or cowardice is assfucking normal wagies hard. First he makes housing and food costs rise by 40%, squeezing the wagies hard and then he creates conditioins in which the wagies will end up losing their jobs

why didnt he run for president, people would vote for him

what would have happened if interest rates were just left alone during the covid lockdowns? why was setting them to zero so important?

It'll be someone Trump picks, which is yeah lol

I guess that means Trump will need to fire him soon

To be fair, that makes it much easier to pay off the debt.

around 2023 probably. at least there's one good boomer in this country.

At this point, is there anyone trump picked in his first term that doesn't absolutely hate him?
