I concur. The unemployment rate is about 4% and even the more padded U6 unemployment rate is below 5%
Those are normal.
Under condition when unemployment rates are normal the primary job of the federal reserve is to bring down inflation. It's not simply a good idea. It's their mandate

The fact that there are more jobseekers than jobs is also close to normal. There's always a mismatch between jobs and jobseekers.

It may well be that those jobs are demotions or involve moving etc..

So the Fed has done everthing correctly.

But now they are on toes because we have the immigrant labor leaving and hightarrufs.

While those might increase the number of jobs available it might not fund takers. And both will cause supply side inflation. Simultaneously extending the tax cuts and the debt ceiling means the high rate of pumping debt into the economy will continue.

So the Fed is in an uncharted territory . It could mean high inflation is coming. Most likely. But it could mean a recession. You love the rate in opposite directions there! Most likely is both: stagflation. Which is awful. We did the stagflation experiment in the early 70s and tried both spending into it and later raising interest rates sky high. Only the latter worked.

Fed is exactly doing the right Thing by being watchful

If your criterion is that whatever you do to capture carbon should be something that cannot be undone then there is no way to capture carbon, even mineralization can be undone if you heat it....which is done to make cement so even that is something that could happen.

Well, they german court only ruled the carbon must stay captured for atleast 25 years, but Apple couldn't even do that.

Well, they claim the pack has 142kwh of energy, and can recharge in 10 minutes for back to back trips... I'm going to assume that's no more then 80% for both longevity and reserve capacity... that's a charge rate of 681.6kw... assuming it's a flat charging curve, which it isn't. USB-C PD3.1 does 5A at 48V max. So to reach the required average power delivery for a 10 minute charge, you would need only 2,840 USB-C charging ports/cables. Now, in reality you'll need more because the charging curve will start out higher and fall off as SoC rises. And boosting that 48V to the internal pack voltage of 800V is going to cost efficiency.

I'm picturing a huge plug that looks like a giant G34 CPU socket with the middle part filled in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik... but where each contact is, instead it's a USB-C port.
