Investors shocked that Jerome Powell does exactly what he says

Democrats’ revealing DC crime bill fiasco

Democrats sharply disagree with each other over whether violent crime in the nation’s capital should be punished less or more. That’s not the same as saying they don’t know what they want. If you assume that each of them is acting from self-interest rather than for the public good, all the fog evaporates to reveal remarkable consistency.

Senators make the case for the Federal Reserve’s independence

However constitutionally flawed the Federal Reserve is, the central bank's independence has proven time and time again to lead to a pragmatic decision-making body, at least relative to the chaos coming from Congress and the White House. And while we already know that politicians would happily manipulate America's money supply for electoral gain if they succeed in wresting control from the Fed, the latest Senate Banking Committee hearing proves just how reckless the members of the world's (supposedly) greatest deliberative body are when it comes to questions of monetary policy.

Hershey’s puts the ‘man’ in ‘woman’ with new promotional candy bar

Hershey's controversial new marketing campaign in Canada to celebrate International Women's Day is an utter disgrace and embarrassment to women. The confectionery company released five limited-edition chocolate bars called "HER for SHE." Yet, Hershey's knowingly celebrated a man in its ode to honor women. One of the bars included Fae Johnstone, a man who is an executive at a Canadian consulting firm and who thinks he is a woman.
