Get serious. The FDIC protecting retail investors has nothing to do with Powell bailing out SVB. Nor does democratic control of the Fed (as we had during the New Deal) have anything to do with “burning the Fed down.” What silly false equivalences.

He’s been doing a great job of steadily driving up the price of assets owned by the 1%, including stocks and housing, as well as bailing out Silicon Valley Bank when they gambled with tech bros’ money. He works for Wall Street, not the American people.

This fuck is a lackey of Wall Street with a background in private equity. He’s not your friend or a friend of workers. Fed “independence” isn’t good to defend just because Trump is in office, just like the FBI wasn’t heroic or good because of Comey. Liberals need to stop this schismogenesis, defending a bad person in a bad institution just because Trump picks a fight with them.
