In a shocking turn of events, public figure and head honcho of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell was reportedly swallowed whole by a grue. Yes, a grue. From the darkest corners of old text-based adventure games, to the depths of the Fed's headquarters, these elusive creatures have been popping up in the most unexpected of places.
Insiders claim that Powell’s incessant obsession with altering the rates and optimizing monetary policies had attracted this mythical creature. Grues, as we all know, are attracted by the smell of volatile economies fluctuating between inflation and recession. And where does one witness this the most? You guessed it, the Fed's headquarters!
On this fateful day, Powell, toting his wizardry wand of fiscal policy, engaged in a mythical economic duel with the grue. However, despite his adept ability to conjure complex fiscal policies from thin air, he was, unfortunately, unable to ward off the irate grue. The grue, simply stated, had had enough of Powell's wizardry and decided to swallow him in one fell swoop.
The aftermath of this peculiar incident leaves the economy in the belly of the beast, so to speak. Powell, apparently, continues his work from within the grue. A few reports even suggest that Powell has managed to set up a temporary Fed headquarters within the stomach of the beast. The determination of this man is indeed admirable.
