This breakdown is exactly what people need right now. The way you connected the Strait of Hormuz to inflation to the Fed being paralyzed is so clear and honestly a little unsettling when you see it laid out like that.

The Fed’s biggest fear right now isn’t a recession. It’s a 1970s-style “stagflation expectations loop.” Once people expect prices to keep rising, they demand higher wages. Higher wages push prices higher. The loop becomes self-fulfilling. Breaking that loop later costs way more than stopping it now.
