Quantitative easing. Fiscal consolidation. Monetary policy stance.
These aren't complicated concepts. They're just wrapped in fancy language that makes them SOUND complicated.
I paused, Rewound the scene, Watched Oscar explain 'surplus' to Michael a few times and thought
work like this?"
Why do we accept that news HAS to be written like academic papers? Who decided that staying informed means decoding jargon?
That night, I couldn't sleep. The idea wouldn't let go...
And Lemonade Stand was born.
Here's the thing about news.
It's not written for humans.
It's written for other journalists.
The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee decided to maintain the repo rate at 6.5% amid concerns about inflationary pressures.
India's main bank didn't change interest rates because prices are going up and they're worried.
Equity markets witnessed volatility following dovish commentary from the Federal Reserve.
Stock prices jumped around after the US central bank hinted at keeping rates low.
The company announced a strategic realignment of its operational framework to optimize synergistic outcomes.
The company is restructuring to work more efficiently.
Words like 'accommodative,' 'dovish,' 'realignment,' 'synergistic', they're not helping about all the audience. They're just making simple ideas sound smart.
But you're not here to be impressed by vocabulary.
You're here to be INFORMED.
