I’m not blaming the Fed for the coronavirus.
Nevertheless, I’m blaming the Fed for its inaccurate inflationary ways that blew three of the most important financial bubble in succession: 2000, 2007, 2020.
The Fed desires extra inflation to make up for the shortage of it in prior years. They’re completely clueless methods to measure it.
