The Fed, Inflation, And Some Unpleasant MathAt last week’s FOMC press conference, Chair Powell was unequivocal about his discomfort with persistently high inflation. Had the January FOMC been a forecast meeting, he told us, he would have revised up his inflation forecast for 2022 by “a few tenths.” The Fed is set on tightening policy this year.

Russell Brand has long been one of my favorite celebrities, and not just because he sings Can’t Fight This Feeling to Alec Baldwin in what is probably my guiltiest of pleasure movies (I KNOW IT’S TRASH LEAVE ME ALONE IN MY 80’S GLAM DUMPSTER). He has consistently been an advocate for respect, kindness, and the open exchange of ideas, and that’s remarkable enough among us common folk, let alone Hollywood celebrities. A longtime advocate for the underdog and critic of the elites keeping said underdogs, well, under, Brand has recently found himself under fire for championing the wrong underdog and...
