#Beef generates significant #environment & #health costs for society—negative externalities that are not reflected in retail #prices. In contrast, plant-based #meat provides public benefits, but at private costs, i.e. some public support for #plantbased meat may be justified: doi.org/10.3390/food...

PC memory costs are also really high. I've been waiting on a good (or at least bearable) price to upgrade one of my kids' laptop memory forever (it is DDR4, though, so that's part of the problem).

To me, this was the biggest tell of where #Warsh wants the #Fed to go – all mixed up with #business & #finance, which I think could spell disaster.

Not being dramatic, but the Fed's focus will be marred – supporting the financial sector & big business, not simply ensuring price/job stability. It'll have every incentive to make it appear that #inflation & #prices are under control, not truly control them.

#Warsh repeatedly stated that the #Fed will "deliver" on price stability. He didn't talk much about the job part of the mandate & said:

"I don't believe we have a cruel choice (b/t higher #inflation & #jobs)... What I believe is if we do our job, we can make strong #growth, low #prices, and strong #employment neutrally compatible."

1 #IMF: In many #economies, higher #oil #prices are nonetheless contributing to a pickup in headline #inflation. That is concerning—but not the full story. It is also important to consider whether people and businesses expect a more persistent erosion of their #purchasingpower. 🧵
