Signs of the US economy crawling

Jerome Powell photo: official Federal Reserve portrait, public domain.

An interactive time capsule of the 2020 "money printer go brrr" meme. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stands at the Fed podium and cranks a money printing press that spits out dollar bills, in time with the Eurobeat song GAS GAS GAS. Bills rain down and burn, a counter shows how much money has been printed, and the US national debt ticks up live from the Treasury's Debt to the Penny data. The Fed has since reversed course: it hiked rates from 2022 to 2023 and again in September 2026.
