minus-squaregnurd@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down2·1 year agoPowell has been saying this for a long time. He doesn’t seem to like that people are making more money. Here’s just one of a plethora of examples you can find if you’d just Google it.

minus-squaregnurd@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoBecause of course he’s not. To me it seems he’s definitely more concerned about the pockets of the ruling class. Just my opinion of course.
minus-squarestolid_agnostic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoYep. Rather than it being corporate greed driving everything (which has been reported on from many angles), it’s actually people making too much money that is the problem per Powell.
minus-squaregnurd@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoExactly. This is the guy saying unemployment needs to be higher. Like wtf, you actually want more people out of work. Higher wages is not what is driving inflation, it’s pure greed. Proven over and over again.
