re: Why has Biden’s clown show been allowed to continue for 2 years?

You understand that inflation decelerated in 2008 despite interest rate cuts.
This is not the same as 2008 because interest rates are increasing, not decreasing and that's been the trend so far.
The two scenarios are not the same. You'd expect inflation to decelerate as interest rates go up, not as they go down which is why 2008 was different.

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, 'You are going to die young because of this.
I suppose they too follow the battery theory.

The media practically praises Biden for his oil policies in terms of shutting down pipelines/going 'green' + student loan forgiveness. I think they're idiotic policy decisions - that's a decision and opinion I formed using my own brain.

That's fair enough.
Thanks for responding.
I've got no clue why they're even doing this.
I feel like they don't realize how bad it looks - same with shutting down pipelines etc. Completely idiotic policies and not something I agree with.
Fair enough.
I think they definitely should have started their balance sheet reduction earlier - I think the problem is the velocity of circulation didn't decline like they were expecting, which caused inflation due to excessive QE and fiscal stimuli.

This doesn't mean there's going to be a recession.
We're discussing the likelihood of a recession.
Gas prices going up, grocery prices going up, and a lack of products are a symptom of inflation. But inflation doesn't mean there's a recession.
I'm just skeptical -> I just don't see the market crashing to the extent that you guys do. The FED has learnt its lesson from 2008.

But I'd at least like you to put forward an argument because there's a good chance I could be wrong and I'd like to either strengthen or disprove my position.

Can someone explain how I'm lying or clear things up (again, I'm not fully versed in central banking macro economics so I'm sure someone more knowledgable can clear it up for me)?
I'm explaining central banking policy, not even espousing a political opinion.

Only a moron would say that because it tells me they don't really understand what inflation is.
Inflation is meant to increase. Inflation decelerating is the ideal scenario - the FED targets a 2% increase year-on-year.
If inflation starts decreasing and not decelerating, we've got much, much bigger problems (deflation is dangerous for any central bank).
This is basic central banking policy. I may be wrong - I've not touched macro in years BUT deflation can lead to a deflationary spiral.

Inflation is decelerating.
That doesn't mean it's decreasing. It means the rate of increase is slowing down - it's a parabola.
You're going to feel it in your wallets because inflation is still increasing.
It's decelerating, which is the good thing. I'm not at all lying - I'm putting money where my mouth is.

Look, I'm prepared to be wrong.
I can't make predictions but I can't see why there would be a recession (at this moment). In hindsight, it will probably be much clearer.
I'm certainly investing as if I don't expect a recession - my stock portfolio is fairly correlated to the market. I'm loading up on S&P500 futures.

Inflation is decelerating - it's going to get better from here as the cost of borrowing continues to rise.
Inflation is being outpaced by consumer spending which shows that the economy is much healthier than people are predicting.
The best way I can put it to you is, the 10 year-3 month yield curve hasn't inverted. That's usually a harbinger of a recession. Equity markets are drawing down because the cost of equity is increasing, not because there's going to be a recession.

Well, vote him out in 2024.
The economy isn't destroyed - the fact that I keep hearing that from people tells me the FED is doing its job perfectly.
It's a good sign that inflation will decelerate. The FED is working as intended then.
The economy is fine - consumer consumption is high and unemployment is low. The only problem is inflation but that's beginning to decelerate - the FED's QT and interest rate hikes are working.
Nobody would exercise the 25th amendment for botching the Afghanistan withdrawal + every country is suffering from a labor/supply-chain crisis.

You realize 99% of Oxford graduates work at mundane jobs, right?
There's pretty much no elite.
I've got friends who work at economic consulting firms to friends who work as academics to friends who don't really seem to be doing that much with their lives.
I went as a mature student (21+).
Harris Manchester College, really, really great experience as someone who was over 21 when I went.
No other world-class university would accept someone who was over 21 when I went.

I've never worked at McKinsey so I can't give any more info than that.
I know they used to host dinners and events in my college but I never got passed the case study stage of the interview process for any consulting firm.

McKinsey is a management consulting firm.
They tend to offer advice to corporate boards in return for a fee. The advice can vary from on what to price your goods, your market and customer analysis or even on how to implement government policy.

I'm an alumnus.
It's one of the things that Oxford makes clear in their admissions process. It's partly why they struggle to raise funding to the same extent as US colleges as donors don't get any admissions advantages.
Oxford famously turned down the Prime Minister Blair's kid when he applied.

Clinton's kid went to Stanford, was at the top of her class at a top private school, and did masters degrees from Oxford and Columbia.
She then worked at McKinsey (which is an elite firm) and serves on the board of a large corporation.
In what world would a parent not be proud of a kid who's done all that?
Particularly considering Oxford famously don't consider who your parents are when they make admissions' decisions (which is why most of the royal family never went there).

There's no mandate because Biden lost his case in a court, not because the medical field changed their mind on the vaccines.
In any case, I'm not sure what sharing these weird fringe pieces that always turn out to be debunked does for anyone.
We've all made up our minds on vaccines - either get it or don't.
There are also non-mRNA vaccines available which I'd have thought people would be more comfortable with.
