Good Furman thread here.
I think this nudges me further toward “move aggressively in the next two meetings and try to gauge the response.”
Movingly slowly feels sensible but could exacerbate these dilemmas.

I'm uncertain about the trajectory of inflation.
But even conditional on my inflation views, I'm even more uncertain about what exactly monetary policy should do. Nervous about overreacting but also nervous about being so far from a reasonable place now.
So just, well, nervous.

But this actually the problem — in a society we need mechanisms for making collective decisions, things can’t be subject to universal veto.
Canada has a nice liberal society with open debate and free and fair elections.

Happy two year anniversary to this piece mocking Silicon Valley "gearing up for Doomsday scenarios" and taking "extreme caution" like discouraging handshakes and asking people who recently travelled from China to work from home.
