It's by design. All companies should be large public companies so that we can invest in them. Small businesses do not enrich me.

It might be Brave New World, but its a private corporation-centered Brave New World.  And that is actually completely different and good.

As expected, the Fed trimmed its policy rate by 25 basis points to 4.00%-4.25%.

Are fed rate cuts inflationary? If so, isn't that a problem in a situation where cost of goods and services is already historically high?

COVID checks "caused inflation" and were deemed bad and should never happen again.

You know what would be a better way to stimulate the economy and reign in inflation? Dropping the stupid tarrifs.

We'll see if the majority of SCOTUS justices have the onions to follow the Constitution.

The rebates that we'd have to pay, not good

Good luck. The problem is that act Trump is using to justify them is very broadly written and cedes a ton of authority from Congress to the President.

Yeah even if they did rule against him I don't think it would be retroactive. Because we literally couldn't pay the rebates

If you want to stimulate the economy, and don't care about inflation, just give everyone money. It's more likely to be spent/spread if given to the bottom rather than the top

This is true, but missing the larger point that the top doesn't care about the bottom and wants all the money

We need Lenny and Goose to come along and explain that this is all nonsense, that, like them, if you just work hard, you can definitely afford a house.

There is no affordability problem, there is willing-to-work-hard problem.

It literally doesn't matter if poor people can't afford to purchase a home. Home prices are rising and inventories remain low because there are plenty of people that can afford to purchase one or more homes. 

Build baby build. The lower the interest rates and the higher the cost of homes the more builders there are where the math starts mathing. Too bad about the oppressive tarrif environment and ice raids, so the cost to build is sky high and labor evaporated. A snap of the finger and this admin could fix the economy, too bad.

(Bloomberg) -- Gen Z borrowers took the biggest hit of any age group this year, helping pull overall credit scores lower in the worst year for US consumer credit quality since the global financial crisis roiled the world's economy.

The average FICO score slipped to 715 in April from 717 a year earlier, marking the second consecutive year-over-year drop, according to a report released Tuesday by Fair Isaac Corp. The average score dropped three points to 687 in 2009.

Gen Z borrowers saw the largest drop, not only this year, but of any age group since 2020, with their average score falling three points to 676, the Montana-based creator of the FICO credit score said.

We shouldn't need any new homes with 300M people dying from drugs last year.

Good point!

That's only because drug prices were reduced by 500%, 1200%, 1500%, 700%, 1400%.
