There is a simple reason the Fed’s strategy of hope to bring down inflation is not working. 

The stock market was the primary source of unproduced income just 25 years ago. Now, there is private equity, crypto currency and a $40 trillion federal debt to go along with it.

But some strategy other than hope needs to be considered to deal with the weather issues. One proposal is to reduce air travel worldwide by 50%. With the internet and the days of COVID showing the bulk of air travel is unnecessary. The airlines create an artificial need to travel with frequent flyer miles, corporate and government deals and other gimmicks.

Big passenger jets burn up significant amounts of fuel taking ff and getting up to the stratosphere and long nonstop flights are not necessarily efficient because of the thousands of gallons of fuel it needs to carry. And what is the effect of constant dumping of hot jet fuel exhaust into the stratosphere? 

It’s somewhat hypocritical for people concerned with global warming and climate change to routinely travel in a machine that burns up fuel, not by miles per gallons, but gallons per mile. 

The definition in the dictionary of a jet airplane should be: “A winged, flying horizontal smokestack that emits massive amounts of noise and air pollution to transport the fuel it consumes, people and cargo.”
