    I could have sworn that this was the version I read, but they may have deleted it and posted a different article on the same topic.

    We did it, y’all! Get the Champagne on ice and gather the townsfolk because America hath slain the beast known as inflation. (Or, at least, it’s hit a turning point.)

    Huzzah! Maximum employment and price stability? Let’s party.

    But wait — what’s that I hear? Not the riotous cheers of American consumers dancing in the streets. Not a chorus of workers singing about the strongest labor market of their lifetimes, and no — I can’t even pick up on the sound of what I’m sure is an army of economists demanding sainthood for Jay Powell. Instead, the single best economic news of the past decade is but a murmur of chit-chat, barely audible against a clamor of politicos shouting about President Joe Biden’s age.

      The article we’re responding to here is a Reuters article that states the facts. You just linked to a poorly written CNN op-ed hosted on Yahoo

        This was the original article that was uploaded, that I read. I assume they took it down and posted the Reuters article in its place.

          So would you rather respond to that article or the posted one? Because the article you’re citing was written with a humorous bent, which I thought would bring some levity. But instead I see it’s taken seriously, so I suppose it was right to go down.

          And it was the CNN article for those keeping score, not Yahoo.
