ECONOMY
The global fight against inflation
The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates another 75 basis points, or .75 percent, yesterday for the third time in a row this year. Here’s what you should know.
Tackling inflation could mean a recession: The Federal Reserve is using the only tool at its disposal to curb high prices caused by inflation. Continuously hiking interest rates should lower inflation, but it comes at the cost of slowing down the economy, which could mean a palpable recession.
Layoffs are expected: With the recent hikes, the Fed predicts unemployment to rise to 4.4 percent from the current 3.7 percent. That would mean a loss of 1.2 million jobs. Chairman Jerome Powell said the fight against inflation would lead to economic pain.
The effort to fight inflation is global: Central banks across the globe followed the United States’ move by raising their interest rates too. In response, The World Bank published a report warning about a possible global recession in 2023. Other outlets agree with the possibility of a worldwide recession, citing the global manufacturing downturn amid the reliance on China and its disastrous zero-COVID policies.
The economic crisis will continue to get worse until it gets better.

Nashville medical center providing gender transitions to minors removes webpages after shocking revelations
Vanderbilt University Medical Center began performing irreversible gender transitions in 2018 because “it’s a big money maker,” warning staff that conscientious objectors would face “consequences.”
What happened? Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville opened a clinic for gender transitions in 2018, offering them to minors and adults. On Tuesday, conservative commentator Matt Walsh posted videos from that year showing the motives and lack of ethics behind the clinic.
“These are huge money makers.” A doctor assured staff that the hospital would profit greatly from transition treatments. She listed figures of tens of thousands of dollars for surgeries that remove male and female sex organs or install artificial ones. She repeatedly stated that they are “money makers,” adding that they require a lot of “follow-ups” from patients.
Conscientious objections from staff would bring “consequences.” Another doctor that year warned staff that refusing to perform the surgeries is “problematic.” She said, “Saying that you’re not going to do something… because of your religious beliefs is not without consequences, and it should not be without consequences.”
Damage control: Vanderbilt shut down its website the day the videos leaked, removing vast amounts of content related to its gender treatments. It issued a response the next day assuring that its “care” for minors involves parental consent, violates no state laws, and is in line with professional medical standards. In response, Tennessee’s governor has called for an investigation, and concerned state lawmakers promised legislation on the issue of gender transitions for minors.
