Economic and Market Fare:- Both inflation and the US economy are "running hot."
- The Fed needs to boost rates dramatically to slow the economy and bring down inflation.
- The US economy is very likely to suffer another recession as a result.
- The outlook is not so terrible, however, since once it is clear that inflation is under control the Fed will be able to lower rates.
- The Fed will hike the funds rate to a peak of 4.5% over the next 6-7 months, then cut rates to 3.75% by mid-2024.
- Inflation, currently running about 8%, will fall back to 2% or so by the end of next year

Given that inflation is likely well below 2% by next June and beyond it begs the question why is the fed not cutting rates at next meeting by 75bp? Groupthink prevails and they are all ok being wrong together not a good idea to raise rates in a recession

Each year, approximately 200 million metric tons of ethylene are produced at factories known colloquially as crackers. (That’s more than 50 pounds for every living human on Earth.) Crackers are marvels of chemical engineering and operate at an almost unimaginable scale, complexity, and efficiency. In ExxonMobil’s giant Baytown cracker (below) and similar facilities around the world, ethane is cracked into ethylene and hydrogen around the clock, feeding the world’s nearly insatiable appetite for the stuff.
“A team of researchers led by Meenesh Singh at University of Illinois Chicago has discovered a way to convert 100% of carbon dioxide captured from industrial exhaust into ethylene, a key building block for plastic products.

- Most doctors are well-intentioned human beings who have been acclimated to a system that conditions this harmful behavior and fosters an inability to recognize anything is wrong with it. I often repeat this theme and it is not to defend my profession, but rather to emphasize that any of us could become a gaslighter if we went through that same medical education.
