toxicbitcoiner on Nostr: The Fed and other central banks never “raise rates” per se, they only ever ...
The Fed and other central banks never “raise rates” per se, they only ever *suppress* rates. So what is typically seen as “raising the rate” is only a decrease in the amount that they are suppressing the rate. A subtle distinction, but an important one. (Ryan McMaken to thank for this one).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
