He outlined the "unusual set of disruptions'' the Fed is dealing with, and reiterated a commitment to help the economy through a "uniquely challenging period." The real question is, as warm and fuzzy as these 'Fed Listens' seem to be, do they have any effect on actual

The inflation numbers have been released, and the news is not good for anyone. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased to 8.3%.

The increase in CPI feeds into the argument Chris and Saied have been making for some time, and that so many social media personalities refuse to accept.In today's episode of The Higher Standard,

If you've been watching the news, you're no doubt aware of President Biden's "forgiveness plan." This involves erasing $10,000 US in federal student loan debt for those with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. It also cancels an additional $10,000 for those who received federal Pell Grants to attend college.To say this move has been divisive is something of an understatement, and of course, in today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied share their
