imo this has been a comically glacial effort, and im not sure the feds 1.9% interest target by EOY is anywhere near aggressive enough to stave off 10% or greater inflation by Q4. What i really think are needed --Clinton era 4-5% rates-- are

Its really shocking to me just how many western companies have capitulated to the wholesale censorship and shunning of Russia for this war. DDG and others snored through the bush era disinformation campaign that led to the war in Iraq that
