We never had to choose between low inflation and low unemployment.
@owenslindsay1 joined @TheProspect’s @ddayen to discuss the key takeaways from the Federal Reserve’s misguided rate-hiking campaign.

The lesson from @Bilalbay’s piece on inflation & the affordability crisis bears repeating: The Fed’s rate hikes act more like a sledgehammer than a scalpel & are the wrong tools to address the root causes of high prices today.

Think we can now dispense with the myth that you bring down prices by socking it to workers.
We never had to choose between jobs and prices. Workers and consumers.
Hope that’s the lesson of the 2023 roundups.

You want to know why we don't have fossil fuel phase out deal at #COP28? Simple.
It's because we continue to let these Big Oil criminals in the room - backed by the world's largest fossil fuel financing banks.

Our kids are going to look back and judge Big Oil CEOs as absolute monsters — and these “rude” protestors as total heroes.

This is huge. This is absolutely monumental. We just shut down an event honoring Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The whole room fled. We showed up & prevented this monster from uttering a word. We will resist him with all we've got. There is no choice.

BREAKING: Taxpayers could be on the hook for $18,000,000,000 to clean up drilling sites!
Big Oil is fighting to defeat a proposal that would force the industry to cover the costs.
We shouldn’t be forced to clean up the mess they made.

🤔Why do we only ask “how will we pay for it” when it comes to funding vital public services or to tackle crises like climate change?
Our latest blog explores this Q & explains why we shouldn't accept that we don't have enough money for the public good.👇

Educators across the country are calling for more climate disclosures + #ESG, including our own mentor!
5/ @jenniecstephens is not alone. Just recently, Educator Debra Rowe (@energyeducatio), who also signed the letter, called @federalreserve out for its silence.
But Debra too was ignored & disrespected by @federalreserve.

An unstable climate is a threat to the stability of our financial system. It's beyond time for the @federalreserve to act.
🔥NEW🔥 Educator @jenniecstephens is shocked & disappointed at @federalreserve Chair Powell's total silence on what the Fed is doing to address growing climate risks & its impact on students, teachers & the US financial system.🌪️💸
