Who? Certainly not all of us, however, you may know something about your own family history. What!? @Pioneer1She is absolutely right! The historical basis of what she has referred to his historical. There is an early map and history about that part of West Africa and was known as the land of Judah. Also, my ancestor is linked to this very history as well, on my maternal father's side. In addition, there has been extensive scientific DNA links of Black African people in this region that match the DNA of Isrealite people in East and South Africa. Again, you are ignoring the scientific confirmations. As I have said, my son had a DNA test and matched our family stories just as I had told him. No, the Biblical prophesy of Moses is exact and has come to past. AfroAmericans come from many places from Africa, not just Egypt and Ethiopia. Yes, we Black people have been exploited by White Supremacist from all walks of life. And had it not been for the Protestant Movement we would not know about the Black African presence in the Bible. I am grateful.

No and once again you bring facts to the discussion. The easiest way to understand the relationship is to think of money as something you buy. If demand is high so is the price. Interest is the price of money. Money is one product where the value is less than the price which is due to its utility. International trade of commodities are in USD. China is pushing to supplant athe dollar with their currency. Which I believe is the yuan. I thought they might be successful. However now I am less sure. I agree have some understanding of the how the Financial Markets operate and the products would be a useful first step in investing. Otherwise it becomes speculation or gambling. However I am not licensed to give financial advice.

@Delano Twin, check me if I’m wrong. But finance experts report the drivers of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods, a hot job market- (unemployment rate is 3.6 and US economy added 372000 jobs, high wages (hourly earnings rose 10 cents to $32.08 according to the July Jobs report) the strong dollar causing certain markets to rally AND gas prices are down. - @daniellegfny do you actually follow financial markets? Because if you did, you know now is the time to get rid of personal credit debt. The fed’s rate hike is to cool the economy and prevent a recession. Living above our means makes it difficult for any American to live comfortably. We are not in a recession -and inflation is tied to the consumer market. Biden can’t control our consumerism - no president can but at least he is working to keep folks employed. By the way, as with most republican presidents, 45 created the least amount jobs than any other president in recent history. If you’re self-employed, you may not care about employment numbers. But remember, unless you’re a multimillionaire living off investments, you also need a strong jobs market In order to get paid too.

The President appoints the chairman of the FRB but the chairman is independent

Daniel No. That's because during Trump's admnistration the nation was on lock-down and half the population wasn't working. Infact, hundreds of thousands were dropping dead. We didn't have inflation but we DID have race riots and racist White men marching around threatening people. Wanna bring THAT bag if he promises to bring the price of bacon down?

@Cynique, I could only shake my head when Uncle Ruckus/Clayton Bigsby made the dad and spoiled brat comments. Dude is clearly clueless across the board (pun intended) and ignorant on all fronts. I didn't bother to check or correct it because I knew you would come back and rotisserie his azz. 🤣😎

The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is my God. And I am His own. I know that He is because I've experienced His presence. Nobody imposed Him upon me. I fought with God and ran from Him. He loved me anyway. He protected me and provided for me anyway. I choose Him.
