For families and firms, this isn’t academic. If the people steering monetary policy are chosen for cable-news combat rather than analytic clarity, the cost shows up in jobs, prices, and uncertainty.

Higher oil prices are like your worst group project partner: they show up late, make everything more expensive, and then leave the central bank to clean up the mess.
