Republican billionaire donors are doing their utmost to orchestrate a well timed 2024 recession, deliberately.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/11/opinion/us-recession-yield-curve.html

The doomcrying on business news is so obviously self-serving.

They are trying to wishcast a recession into existence by demanding mass layoffs from profitable companies, prolonging a profitable pandemic, manipulating gas prices or running their own company off a cliff.

"We need to stay on task and we think we'll need to hold policy at restrictive levels for some time, and we need to be prepared to raise rates further if we think that's appropriate," Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell tells reporters after the FOMC raised rates.

Fed: "Inflation is bad. We are raising rates to try to stop the cost of everything going up."

Zero reporters: "Giant corporations continue to report record profits. Do you think maybe the problem might simply be greed?"

This is the 11th time the Fed has raised the key rate by a quarter-point in its current battle against inflation.

@w7voa I thought inflation was already way down according to news clips from POTUS…

@w7voa In other words, preventing normal people from buying houses via loan, and putting all the advantage towards entities paying cash. Gotta wonder…
