But that disparity too began to shrink; as the expansion continued beyond 2015, Black unemployment reached a historic low of 5.2 percent, and the gap between Black and white unemployment rates was the narrowest since 1972, when data on unemployment by race started to be collected. Black unemployment has tended to rise more than overall unemployment in recessions but also to fall more quickly in expansions. Over the course of a long expansion, these persistent disparities can decline significantly, but, without policies to address their underlying causes, they may increase again when the economy ultimately turns down. ... [T]he unemployment rates for Blacks and Hispanics have risen significantly more than for whites since February 2020 (figure 8). As a result, economic disparities that were already too wide have widened further. Also in 2021, Powell talks about unemployment gaps between whites and black + latino workers: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/03/17/federal-reserves-powell-on-black-and-hispanic-unemployment.html From the NYTimes: Quote "Unemployment has tended to go up much faster for minorities, and for others who tend to be at the low end of the income spectrum,” Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, said at a news conference in late April. "Everyone is suffering here. But I think those who are least able to bear it are the ones who are losing their jobs, and losing their incomes and have little cushion to protect them in times like that.” One of the fed's top mandates is to promote maximum employment, so when O'Keefe whines that the "influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes" he's literally just stating part of its mandate - unless you think maximum employment, even for "the blacks" - is not part of a desired social outcome. Establishing interest rates is one tool that the Fed uses, it's not just there to "establish interest rates", it's there to see that its mandate of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate interest rates is seen to. You idiots really do love to fall for anything.

Don't forget he also said Quote "somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” Which I'm sure Kz thinks is some kind of sick gotcha, while conveniently forgetting that Trump was constantly and publicly berating the Fed for the entirety of his presidency, desperately trying to get them to keep interest rates low (even though they probably should've been higher). If anything, it's a reminder what a disaster Trump was and how if Trump were president now he would've fought rate hikes tooth and nail and we'd have much, much worse inflation.

Authoritarian morons like Kz think it's part of the President's job to pressure the Fed Chairman into making decisions that prioritzes benefit to the President politically in the short-term rather than what benefits the American citizens economically in the long-term.

Authoritarian morons like Kz think it's part of the President's job to pressure the Fed Chairman into making decisions that prioritzes benefit to the President politically rather than what benefits the American citizens financially. True, but not even long-term politically. Trump's so retarded and his attention span is so short that he's just looking to "win the day" without even realizing the damage he can do to himself politically long-term (and the country of course but he could give a sheet about that). See abortion. Dude ran on killing Roe, bragged about killing Roe and is now in a desperate scramble to pretend he's against the consequences of killing Roe. But it's way too late. He already owns it. His earlier attempts to "win the day" are burying him.

He doesn't care if he leaves a gigantic F'ing mess for the next guy to clean up, so long as he does and says whatever he thinks will get him re-elected, that's all that matters to him.

But Jill Stein’s people do. … Stein is furious about the oil drilling. The college kids are furious about it. The more exposure these [third-party candidates] get, the better it is for us.

There's no evidence that this claim and the social media trend that sprang from it were based on anything other than idle gossip. This claim wasn't derived from photos or videos of Biden, or any credible news reports. This rumor appears to have been started (or at least popularized) by former Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman and frequent Newsmax guest Amy Tarkanian, who posted the following message to Twitter early on Oct. 30 Yet there are multiple people from the apprentice to people who've worked with Trump that have come out that he craps pants constantly and wears diapers.
