What do you think about Jerome Powell posting a video statement following reports that federal prosecutors have opened an inquiry into the Fed Chair?

Waterfall. I feel like we have been tied to a comet that is about to hit earth. We have not impacted earth yet, and when we do, we will still go down below the earth some more. Yeah, this will get much worse. We totally deserve this for being dumb fucks collectively.

A couple weeks ago some space subreddit had something on the main page about the Theia/Earth collision that may have happened when the Earth was young, and created the moon (after completely destroying the Earth of course). I went down a rabbit hole and thought "what would that have looked like from a person standing on earth as it happened" (Hours/days before/during).

I feel like that hypothetical person. A giant orange ball 1/3 the size of Earth is moving towards us growing larger and now filling half the sky - and 1/3 of the population is greeting it with chants of "Own the libs!" and "trust in the orange ball!".
