An astute Democratic Party administration would re-label these as the "chemical industry" (which they actually are...) and strongly promote them. There's a big 340k barrel per day oil refinery (chemical plant) in Philadelphia, right by his native Delaware, that currently sits idle.

Fed's Williams says Fed needs more rate rises to cool inflation
"NEW YORK, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said on Thursday the U.S. central bank has more rate hikes ahead and sees signs inflationary pressures might be starting to cool off from torrid levels.
“With inflation still high and indications of continued supply-demand imbalances, it is clear that monetary policy still has more work to do to bring inflation down to our 2% goal on a sustained basis,”"

- A stronger China increases the chances of a stubbornly hawkish Fed, Raymond James’ equity strategist Tavis McCourt said in his 2023 Outlook.
- St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said a reopened China makes him “nervous that will lead to upward pressure on inflation.”
If I was Fed Chairman (and it's a good thing I'm not...), I'd probably do a series of 0.25% hikes, only stopping in the Fall. If inflation starts rising after no hikes in the Fall or next Winter, then resume some more 0.25% hikes. Once you're getting close to equilibrium, you don't want to push it too hard either way.
Stagflation!

Energy prices are back up and will continue because of Biden's policies. So nothing good there.

If I was Fed Chairman I would set up a runway for ending the Fed and taking money supply out of the hands of a socialistic enterprise.
They are all jawboning about raising interest rates to make sure everyone understands they take inflation seriously. They are doing this to keep stock prices down until the job is done, less a bull market keeps labor rates higher than needed.
Well then, that settles it.
Apparently no one at CNN buys eggs.
You can tell those CNN people are all raising their own chickens. They have that self-reliant look about them.
I hadn't considered that, but you might be onto something.

They don't need to. They so often have egg all over their faces. Somebody must be really giving it to them.
