Jerome Powell's Policy Errors Continue
Jerome Powell has only taken 2 freshman courses in economics. He is completely unqualified to be fed chair. This is in deep contrast to many other fed chairs, who traditionally have a bachelors and/or masters in economics.
Did you take Economics 101 in Princeton, and do you remember who taught it to you way back then?

Jerome Powell has made so many policy errors he is in the running for the worst fed chair of all time. The first was cutting rates to nearly zero at the start of the pandemic.

Other central banks, such as Spain, are not on the same page as Jerome Powell, reducing confidence and raising questions about corruption as the fed chair shows disconnect from reality.
Spain's central bank warned yesterday that the Spanish population is sicker than ever with record hours of work lost and they say it is "in line with the predictions about covid sequalae.". (Source)

The corruption continues as Jerome Powell will now be the one that reviews his own errors.

Jerome Powell has policy errored time and time again. He has little to no educational experience in economics. We are now paying for this shit show in real time as nearly 200 banks face the same risk as SVB of depositor runs.
According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 200 banks are still facing the same issues as SVB. (Source)
