When we say that inflation is structural and there's little the Fed can do to contain it with rate hikes, this article is Exhibit A in evidence.

This is why the Fed isn't trying to tame inflation, it's trying to destroy the people who created this mess

Though Luongo gives us lots of food for thought, I’m still not entirely sold on his theory regarding the Fed v. Davos. It seems too tidy and convenient (i.e., too good) to be true. More like wishful thinking. We’ll see.

Meantime, something he says here just doesn’t ring true to me. He says Powell fought tooth and nail against all the spending. But I remember Pelosi crowing back in 2020 that the Fed chair told her to “think big” regarding fiscal stimulus spending. Just did a quick google search and found this, for example:
