Buy now, pay later would never have left the drawing board if interest rates weren’t artificially low for so long. Who wouldn’t want to to take a 0% interest loan in a bull market?

All the investors burned by BNPL nonsense have the Federal Reserve to thank. Making winners and losers every day. But it’s a free market still, because it sounds cool to say it muh man!

Powell was recently quoted as saying "We understand better how little we understand about inflation.”

The authority and respect the last generation commands needs a real challenge. Substantive change and not just chanting “disrupt” while playing the same game.

Their figurative identities should not be sacrosanct.
