I'm a pipefitter from Buttscratch, Nowhere, and Jerome Powell is the chairman of the Federal Reserve. He probably didn't spend his Senior year in High School sitting on the hood of his $50 Opel Manta eating a bag of Dolly Madison Do-nettes, nor would he fondly reminisce about it 40 years later if he had

Because it looks to this pipefitter from Buttscratch, Nowhere like he's been dropping acid in the boys room down at the Federal Reserve Governors meeting with the rest of his Fed buddies.

Perhaps if one of them needed a garage door for a carriage house in the Hamptons, or to build a boat dock at the cottage in Sag Harbor, they'd worry a just a teensy bit more about inflation.

But perhaps not. I'm sure that Mr. Powell's own portfolio is very secure and hedged against all eventualities, regardless of any turbulence his policies are causing out here in flyover country.
