@Currycarrier1 @DeItaone That's literally a crazy take. If ANYTHING they'd need to hike, but no move today was smart. Hopefully Powell stays on, he's doing a great job with the horrible hands he is given.

@DeItaone Idiots should've cut.🤦‍♂️

FED RATE DECISION AND POLICY STATEMENT DRAW MOST NUMBER OF DISSENTING VOTES SINCE OCTOBER 1992

@robin_faraj It's more about what you can put out that gets people coming to you. What are you best at? Audio? Video? Text? What's your best communication medium?

@philgrahamAI how to get more people coming?

just started cold calling people I’m so nervous and every talk is just so PITA and makes me not want to make the next one haha how do I get over that?

@RishiUttamHK @robin_faraj Same as calls, I have never responded to a SPAM email and other business owners I know say the same. Seems desperate. Doesn't mean don't do it, but I think it's not a great use of time. There are exceptions of course.

@robin_faraj @philgrahamAI I prefer targeted cold emails in a specific niche, which is what everyone is doing. Don't let AI write it. The people who respond or autorespond, call them. Their now not so cold.

@ICENTRD @DeItaone Definitely not, we all want an independent and smart Fed, not someone who just takes orders from a non expert. Hopefully Powell stays his full term, which is 2 more years.

@DeItaone We all are looking forward to see confirm the Fed Chairman

U.S. SENATOR TILLIS: I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING KEVIN WARSH’S CONFIRMATIONFOR FED CHAIR

@matt_gray_ It's definitely dying for those that do tasks. But those, whether agencies or consultants, who focus on strategy and skill will be needed now more than ever.

i fired a $8K/month agency last tuesday and replaced everything they did with 3 AI systems i built myself in a weekend. the agency was doing: - content repurposing - email sequences - social scheduling now it's automated. better quality but zero back-and-forth. the agency model is dying and nobody in agencies wants to admit it.

@ctjlewis Yep, most are just playing the hope game and posting into the void which is NOT a business plan. If you don't have a reliable, scaleable way to get customers that doesn't rely on chance and algo's, you're already WAY behind.

This place has been annoying as fuck recently. At least it’s no longer some schizo secret that 80% of “launch” traction has been pay to play for the last year.

@digitaladguide One of the biggest issues is some of the forced automation, especially when much of it is not very good and can do more harm than good.

Choppy waters right now in the meta ads world.

@RobertJSalvador @RonDeSantis No way, Powell is what kept us out of much worse inflation. It's the tariffs and wars that are making it worse, had it not been for that stuff he could have and would have cut more. I do think we will get at least one rate hike this year and rightly so.

@philgrahamAI @RonDeSantis The people you’re referring to brought us a financial crisis every decade, “transitory inflation”, 40T debt. So no, as soon as Powell is gone in May/June, the next chair will properly cut rates. Its the same Establishment Experts™️ vs Market Particupants we saw during Covid.

Market seems to be pricing in further inflation. Mortgage rates are also up in recent weeks.

@RobertJSalvador @RonDeSantis Anyone who knows about this stuff knows that if anything, there will be HIKES not cuts coming up. Tariffs, wars, inflation is still WAY too high.

@RonDeSantis @satsuma3333 That’s bc the market has been craving rate cuts for 6 months and Powell is fighting Trump. If we had a Fed who understood the modern economy, rates would be at least 2 basis points lower. Hence Powell has been wrong on tariffs, inflation, jobs for literally 2 years straight.

@jimcramer Meta is the BEST place in the world for small businesses to advertise.

i am liking these Meta initiatives to help small and medium size companies which are the backbone of the economy; i have pushed them hard to do this and they are doing it.

@menoftribe @KobeissiLetter There's nothing he can do by himself thankfully. Last vote was 11-1 for no cuts, and smartly so. Inflation is up due to tariffs, wars, etc. They may need to raise rates later this year.

@KobeissiLetter Trump's Fed pick better hit the ground running, or we eat this pain. Tough road ahead.

Talk about a turn of events: The futures-implied BASE CASE now shows the Fed pausing interest rate cuts until July 2027. To put this into perspective, the debate in late-2025 was whether the Fed would CUT rates 3 or 4 times in 2026. Last week, markets briefly showed a 50% chance of a Fed interest rate HIKE in 2026. Even as President Trump's new Fed Chair is set to begin as soon as May 2026, rate cuts are being entirely priced-out. All while one-year inflation expectations have surged to 5.0%+, now the highest since the Fed was HIKING rates. As a result, the 10Y Note Yield is now up +40 basis points since the Iran War began. The bond market can only weather the storm for so long.

@KobeissiLetter They will most likely need to RAISE rates later this year.

@Ma_deuce_Gunna @DeItaone So you want 10% inflation and higher prices? There's a reason it was an 11-1 vote to hold rates.

@DeItaone bye Powell don't let door hit you on the way out

🚨 *FED LEAVES RATE UNCHANGED

@DeItaone Miran would love to see 10% inflation. Crazy.

*FED SAYS GOVERNOR STEPHEN MIRAN DISSENTS IN FAVOR OF RATE CUT

@3lijahrodriguez @iJordanMoore It's like Steph Curry. I don't care if he's 0-50 from 3, when the game's on the line everyone would have him in and want him to shoot. Let shooters shoot and hitters hit.

@philgrahamAI @iJordanMoore Nah, he was 0-9 while smith was hitting. Bad take here.

Mason Miller in the WBC: 0 hits given up 0 runs given up 10 strikeouts 35 pitches over 100 mph Hitters are 0-12 against him He’s averaging 22.5 strikeouts per 9 But Garrett Whitlock was chosen to pitch the 9th inning instead of him…

@3lijahrodriguez @iJordanMoore BS, Harper and Judge didn't hit much but you NEVER would take them out. Cal should have played, 60 HR's. He wouldn't swing at a pitch that hit him like Smith did lol. Horrible take bro.

@JomboyMedia Not starting Cal was one of the worst Manager decisions I've ever seen. 60 HR's last year, inches from the MVP and perfect defense all year. This loss is on the Manager.

Will Smith swung at a pitch that hit him

@Daavsss @irabukht The key is strategy. Anyone can launch ads, strategy and skill is where it's at. Media buyers no, strategists? Absolutely.

@irabukht yup. This + Zuckerbot and now you dont need media buyers

best video ads I’ve ever tried
