Nepal floods are worsening while Kevin Warsh talks money

Original version ·

Nature is throwing a tantrum in the mountains while the financial world holds its breath for a speech.

Flash floods near the Nepal-Tibet border are turning into a long-term nightmare. Experts are warning that the worst isn't over and more water is headed downstream. It's a brutal reminder that geography doesn't care about our plans.

Meanwhile, in a completely different corner of reality, Kevin Warsh is about to step up to the mic. The markets are vibrating with anticipation, waiting to see if he’ll drop any hints about interest rates. The contrast between a literal disaster and financial theater is just peak 2024.

It’s nice to know that while people lose their homes, everyone is busy guessing what a guy in a suit is going to say about money.
