"Looking ahead, higher #tariffs will be working their way through our #economy & are likely to raise #inflation in coming quarters," #JeromePowell said.
"While #uncertainty remains elevated, it is now becoming clear that tariff increases will be significantly larger than expected, & the same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation & slower growth."
US #Stock indexes extend losses after #FederalReserve chair Powell remarks were released.

Deception, Obfuscation & Misdirection
This is a concatenation of posts I originally made in 2016-2017--even more relevant today...
Most are familiar with the concept of #FUD—short for #Fear, #Uncertainty & #Doubt. It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator! To resist FUD one must understand how it is practiced using the principles of #Deception, #Obfuscation and #Misdirection.
