Fed Meeting Today: Will They Screw Us Again?

Alright, alright, gather ’round, folks. The Federal Reserve-you know, those guys who think they’re running the show-are having their little tea party today to decide what to do with interest rates. Big whoop. Anyway, they’ll spill the beans at 12:30 AM IST.

Keep ’em the same? Who knows? Who cares? Just kidding, we all care because our 401(k)s are hanging by a thread. It’s a big deal for markets and investors, or so they say. Personally, I’m more concerned about whether my dry cleaner will finally get my pants right.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting here like, “Just tell me if I should buy more gold or stock up on ramen.”
