Updated stream list

Everything we've watched so far!

Longtime crowd favorites (streamed at least three times) are marked with a single asterisk.

Why isn’t [specific actor/video] on this list?

The video is currently marked not for trade.

We haven’t gotten to it yet.

The footage does not exist or is too incomplete.

It isn't on a platform I can stream it from.

There's something particularly off-putting about the video or actor.

How can I get a copy of a video listed here?

There's a list of publicly available bootlegs here, and there are many other adaptations on the Phantom Retrospective channel. Otherwise, contact @glassprism (or another trader) for a possible trade, or check her website for info on which master(s) to contact.

For general stream info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ.

On to the list!

Dark Academia Works Inspired by True Crime Cases?

Hello, all! I am looking for recommendations of Dark Academia works (novels, short stories, films, television series) based on true crime. I would be grateful for any suggestions for my list. Thank you!

I am intentionally casting my net widely, defining the Dark Academic genre (as opposed to the aesthetic) as one that focuses on an academic setting and educational experience, employs Gothic modes of storytelling, cultivates a dark mood by contemplating the subject of death, and offers critique for interrogating imbalances and abuses of power.*

Below the cut is my current list of Dark Academia Works Inspired by True Crime Cases. All suggestions are welcome!

Dark Academia Works Inspired/Informed by True Crime Cases

Note 1: “True crime” is defined here as a specific case (for example, a murder or missing person’s case), not as a larger historical event (for example, the Salem Witch Trials or the Opium Wars) or an amalgam of cases (for example, general hazing in fraternities). Note 2: This list is in chronological order based on the true crime case. Note 3: Some works that aren't fully DA but incorporate DA sections are included.

TRUE CRIME: 1897 disappearance of student Bertha Mellish from Mount Holyoke College DA novels: The Button Field by Gail Husch (2014) Killingly by Katharine Beutner (2023)

TRUE CRIME: 1924 killing of Bobby Franks by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb DA Novels: Compulsion by Meyer Levin (1956) Nothing but the Night by James Yaffe (1957) Little Brother Fate by Mary-Carter Roberts (1957) The Secret History by Donna Tartt (1992) These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever (2020) Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed (2022) Jazzed by Jill Dearman (2022) DA films: Rope (1948), Compulsion (1959), and Murder by Numbers (2002)

TRUE CRIME: 1932 kidnapping and killing of Charles Lindbergh, Jr.; 1933 kidnapping and killing of Brooke Hart; and 1932-1934 crime spree of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow DA novels: Truly Devious books by Maureen Johnson (especially the first trilogy, 2018-2020)

TRUE CRIME: 1944 killing of David Kammerer by Columbia University student Lucien Carr DA film: Kill Your Darlings (2013)

TRUE CRIME: 1946 disappearance of student Paula Jean Welden from Bennington College DA novels: Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson (1951) Last Seen Wearing by Hillary Waugh (1952) The Secret History by Donna Tartt (1992) Shirley by Susan Scarf Merrell (2014) Quantum Girl Theory by Erin Kate Ryan (2022)

TRUE CRIME: 1973 killing of student Cynthia Hellman at Randolph-Macon Women’s College DA novel: Good Girls Lie by J.T. Ellison (2019)

TRUE CRIME: 1978 killing of students Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy and attack of students Kathy Kleiner and Karen Chandler by Ted Bundy at Florida State University DA novel: Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll (2023)

TRUE CRIME: 1985 killing of Derek and Nancy Haysom by University of Virginia students Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Söring DA novel: With a Kiss We Die by L.R. Dorn (2023)

TRUE CRIME: 1999 killing of student Hae Min Lee from Woodlawn High School (by Adnan Syed? debated) DA novel: I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai (2023)

TRUE CRIME: 2022 killing of students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin from the University of Idaho (by Washington State University student Bryan Kohberger? currently awaiting trial) DA novel: This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead (2025)

*(I go into this definition in further detail in my segment here on the StarShipSofa podcast, my graduate course on Dark Academia, and my 2023 academic essay "Dark Arts and Secret Histories: Investigating Dark Academia.")

Little Book Review: Romance Round-Up (May-December 2022)

It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas (2005): In the second installment of Kleypas's influential Wallflower Quartet, outspoken American heiress Lillian Bowman is looking for a husband at stuffy Lord Westcliff's weeks-long house party. Lord Westcliff is decidedly not on the menu, thanks to the huge stick up his ass, but we all know how that goes. This novel was a little slow, but solid and sexy. I probably wouldn't have even minded the pace if I were a little more into uptight aristocrats or feisty American heiresses in romance. Also, say what you will about love triangles, but Lillian's flirtation with villain/future-hero Lord St. Vincent added some nice tension.

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas (2006): In the third Wallflower book, debilitatingly shy heiress Evangeline "Evie" Jenner is desperate to escape her abusive maternal relatives so she can be with her dying father, who runs a London gambling house, and also avoid being forced to marry her cousin. She offers marriage to ne'er-do-well Lord St. Vincent, who's rather short on cash because his dad cut him off. She doesn't have high expectations, given that he was a real piece of shit in the last book, but he's good in bed, he's nice to her dad, and he has some good ideas about how to manage her dad's gambling house. Based on largely anecdotal evidence, I believe this is one of the most beloved romance novels of the 2000s, and I can see why. St. Vincent is an engaging chaotic bitch hero and Evie is both endearing and proactive. It didn't hit me as hard as some villain-hero romances (like To Have and to Hold, Shadowheart, Duke of Sin, and A Lady's Code of Misconduct), but I enjoyed it a lot.

Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas (2006): In the fourth Wallflower book, Daisy Bowman, Lillian's fanciful younger sister, is issued an ultimatum by her dad to find a husband, or else marry the man of his choice. The man of his choice is Matthew Swift, an austere Bostonian entrepreneur whom Daisy finds soul-crushingly boring...but is her assessment fair or right? This is probably the least-loved Wallflower book, and I get why. It doesn't have a strong unifying concept or concrete stakes. Daisy's dad gives her a long timeline, she doesn't lack for acceptable prospects, and she can go live with her loving sister if worse comes to worse. Matthew, for his part, isn't actually on board with the ultimatum; he's in love with Daisy, but won't tell her because he's harboring a Dark Secret, plus he's not a mustache-twirling villain. So, most of the romance is them tentatively circling each other, forgetting more and more of the reasons they can't be together. And, honestly, I was so into it. Kleypas makes uncommonly excellent use of former protagonists as well. The three former couples, rather than being static and boring, are still going through struggles in the background despite being happily married. It's also really sweet how they come through for Matthew in his hour of need.

The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne (2015): Farah Mackenzie is a clerk for Scotland Yard who holds herself out as a respectable widow. Dorian Blackwell is a powerful underworld figure who kidnaps her out of the blue, claiming that he (a) knew her tragically dead young husband in prison and (b) wants to marry her as part of a byzantine plan to gain power in society. This book is an absolutely wild ride, with secret identities and marriages between ten-year-olds and romantic kidnappings. It does kind of lose steam after they leave the gorgeous kidnapping island, though.

Someone to Cherish by Mary Balogh (2021): Lydia Tavernor lived for years in the shadow of her husband, a magnetic and zealous vicar, and even after his heroic death (during which he saved a child from drowning), she's continued to be quiet and self-effacing. Then, at a small party, she finds herself feeling unexpectedly attracted to her amiable neighbor, Major Harry Westcott. Harry has suffered his own disappointments, namely losing the position in society he'd been raised for when his father's bigamy was revealed and suffering years of ill health due to horrific injuries sustained in the Napoleonic Wars. Although both are gun-shy due to their experiences, they crave intimacy and begin a no-strings-attached relationship. This romance had so much potential. I was invested in both characters and intrigued by the late husband's post-death effect on the characters' small community; I felt like there was going to be some exploration of how devotion to the memory of a good person (or maybe just a person who seemed to be good) can be twisted and make people act in cruel ways. Unfortunately, Balogh decided to go hard on demonizing an obviously troubled child character and having the hero and heroine bond over bullying him.

Jewel of the Sea by Susan Wiggs (1993): Roughly a decade after October Wind, which followed a bunch of characters in the several years leading up to Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas, a new crop of young people have to navigate life in both hemispheres. There's Armando, resentful son of the unethical Rafael/Catalina/Santiago throuple from the first book; Paloma, resourceful daughter of Spanish-nobleman-turned-Jewish-refugee Joseph and Taino wise woman Anacaona from the first book; Gabriella, lady-in-waiting to Katherine of Aragon and daughter of troubled Mercedes; and Will, Jewish-Spanish-English musician and chronic simp. The sequel is an improvement over the first book, in the sense that Columbus and Queen Isabella aren't major characters, but the cast of original characters is a little weaker. October Wind had three great characters (Joseph, Santiago, and Catalina), one underused one (Anacaona), and one annoying one. Jewel of the Sea has one great character (Gabriella), one underused but interesting one (Paloma), one pleasant but not terribly fascinating one (Will), and one annoying one (Armando).

How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole (2021): Makeda Hicks, eternal people-pleaser, is forced to move back in with her hotel-owner grandma after losing her job and live-in girlfriend on the same day. Burdened by a childhood where she had to parent her own mother, who struggled with alcoholism and was obsessed with the possibility that she was a long-lost royal, Makeda isn't amused when Beznaria Chetchevaliere, a detective hired to find the lost royal heir to Ibarania, turns up on her doorstep. However, pressing financial obligations and Beznaria's unconventional charisma make her take a chance. This one didn't really work for me. Makeda's a terrific heroine, but Beznaria is cartoonish, the couple spends too much time on a cargo ship, and Cole apparently still can't write a well-paced ending.

Η Fed ανταποκρίθηκε στις προσδοκίες των αγορών αποφασίζοντας μείωση των επιτοκίων κατά 0,25%, επισημαίνοντας ότι η αμερικανική οικονομία συνεχίζει να αναπτύσσεται με σταθερό ρυθμό, ενώ οι πιέσεις στην αγορά εργασίας έχουν χαλαρώσει και ο πληθωρισμός υποχωρεί αλλά παραμένει κάπως αυξημένος. Η Fed διατηρεί ανοιχτά όλα τα ενδεχόμενα για τις επόμενες συνεδριάσεις, ωστόσο δεν φαίνεται ότι θα βιαστεί για μια νέα μείωση επιτοκίων, καθώς από την ανακοίνωση προκύπτει μια ισορροπία και η αμερικανική οικονομία δεν φαίνεται να απειλείται από χαμηλά επίπεδα ανάπτυξης ή υψηλή ανεργία. Η ανακοίνωση Οι πρόσφατοι δείκτες υποδεικνύουν ότι η οικονομική δραστηριότητα συνεχίζει να αναπτύσσεται με σταθερό ρυθμό. Από την αρχή του έτους, οι συνθήκες στην αγορά εργασίας έχουν γενικά χαλαρώσει, και το ποσοστό ανεργίας έχει αυξηθεί, αλλά παραμένει χαμηλό. Ο πληθωρισμός έχει σημειώσει πρόοδο προς τον στόχο του 2 τοις εκατό της Επιτροπής, αλλά παραμένει κάπως αυξημένος. Η Επιτροπή επιδιώκει να επιτύχει τη μέγιστη απασχόληση και πληθωρισμό στο επίπεδο του 2 τοις εκατό μακροπρόθεσμα. Η Επιτροπή κρίνει ότι οι κίνδυνοι για την επίτευξη των στόχων της απασχόλησης και του πληθωρισμού είναι γενικά ισορροπημένοι. Οι προοπτικές της οικονομίας είναι αβέβαιες, και η Επιτροπή παραμένει προσεκτική στους κινδύνους και για τις δύο πλευρές της διπλής της εντολής. Στηρίζοντας τους στόχους της, η Επιτροπή αποφάσισε να μειώσει το στόχο για το επιτόκιο των ομοσπονδιακών κεφαλαίων κατά 1/4 της εκατοστιαίας μονάδας στο 4-1/2 έως 4-3/4 τοις εκατό. Κατά την εξέταση πρόσθετων προσαρμογών του στόχου για το επιτόκιο των ομοσπονδιακών κεφαλαίων, η Επιτροπή θα αξιολογήσει προσεκτικά τα εισερχόμενα δεδομένα, τις εξελισσόμενες προοπτικές και την ισορροπία των κινδύνων. Η Επιτροπή θα συνεχίσει να μειώνει τις συμμετοχές της σε ομόλογα του Δημοσίου, χρέη οργανισμών και ομολογιακά δάνεια ενυπόθηκων τίτλων οργανισμών. Η Επιτροπή παραμένει δεσμευμένη στη στήριξη της μέγιστης απασχόλησης και την επιστροφή του πληθωρισμού στον στόχο του 2 τοις εκατό. Κατά την αξιολόγηση της κατάλληλης κατεύθυνσης της νομισματικής πολιτικής, η Επιτροπή θα συνεχίσει να παρακολουθεί τις επιπτώσεις των εισερχόμενων πληροφοριών στις οικονομικές προοπτικές. Η Επιτροπή θα είναι έτοιμη να προσαρμόσει την κατεύθυνση της νομισματικής πολιτικής εφόσον προκύψουν κίνδυνοι που θα μπορούσαν να εμποδίσουν την επίτευξη των στόχων της. Οι αξιολογήσεις της Επιτροπής θα λάβουν υπόψη ένα ευρύ φάσμα πληροφοριών, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των δεδομένων για τις συνθήκες στην αγορά εργασίας, τις πιέσεις πληθωρισμού και τ��ς προσδοκίες πληθωρισμού, καθώς και τις χρηματοοικονομικές και διεθνείς εξελίξεις. Στην ψηφοφορία για τη νομισματική πολιτική υπέρ ψήφισαν οι: Jerome H. Powell, Πρόεδρος· John C. Williams, Αντιπρόεδρος· Thomas I. Barkin· Michael S. Barr· Raphael W. Bostic· Michelle W. Bowman· Lisa D. Cook· Mary C. Daly· Beth M. Hammack· Philip N. Jefferson· Adriana D. Kugler· και Christopher J. Waller. Read the full article

Lisa Reviews An Oscar Nominee: Test Pilot (dir by Victor Fleming)

(With the Oscars scheduled to be awarded on March 4th, I have decided to review at least one Oscar-nominated film a day.  These films could be nominees or they could be winners.  They could be from this year’s Oscars or or they could be a previous year’s nominee!  We’ll see how things play out.  Today, I take a look at the 1938 best picture nominee, Test Pilot!) Test Pilot is all about charisma.…

Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy, born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946, was one of the most notorious American serial killers. He is known to have kidnapped, raped and killed at least 36 young women in 1970s and probably earlier. He was executed in the electric chair in 1989. His murders have inspired many novels and films about serial killers.

His mother was Eleanor Louise Cowell, who was 22 years old and unmarried when she gave birth to Bundy. His biological father's identity may never be confirmed, since on his birth certificate the father was listed as unknown; also, some rumours identify his father as his grandfather. For the first three years of his life, Bundy lived with his maternal grandparents and was told that his mother was his sister. He eventually discovered the truth and expressed a lifelong resentment toward his mother for never talking to him about his true parentage. In 1951 Louise met and married Johnny Culpepper Bundy, a hospital cook, and later that year the couple officially adopted Bundy, that took his name. He had a tense relationship with his stepfather, and complained to his girlfriend that Johnny "wasn't very bright” and "didn't make much money".

After graduating from high school in 1965, Bundy attended the University of Puget Sound for one year before transferring to the University of Washington. There, he fell in love with Stephanie Brooks, a wealthy and lovely young woman from California. He was devastated by their breakup, and many of his following victims resembled his college girlfriend. He graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in psychology in 1972.

Attacks and murders

There is no consensus on when or where Bundy began killing women. He told different stories to different people and refused to reveal the specifics of his first crimes. For example, he told his mother that he attempted his first kidnapping in 1969 in Ocean City, New Jersey, but did not kill anyone until 1971 in Seattle, yet told psychologist Art Norman that he had killed two women in Atlantic City in 1969.

Homicide detective Robert D. Keppel and biographer Ann Rule, who had previously worked with Bundy, both believed that he might have started killing as a teenager. Circumstantial evidence suggested that he may have kidnapped and killed eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr when he was 14 years old, but he repeatedly denied. His earliest documented homicides were committed in 1974, at the age of 27. The disappearances all took place at night, usually near ongoing construction work, and the victims were all young, attractive, and with long hair parted in the middle; at most crime scenes there were sightings of a man wearing a cast or a sling, and driving a brown or tan Volkswagen Beetle.

Photos of Ted Bundy's 1968 Volkswagen Beetle, in which he committed many of his crimes. The vehicle is on display at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. 

Items found in his car when he was arrested in 1975

His first confirmed attack occurred shortly after midnight on January 4, 1974, when Bundy entered the apartment of Joni Lenz. After bludgeoning her with a metal rod from her bed frame, he sexually assaulted her with either the same rod or a metal speculum. She survived, but with permanent physical and mental disabilities. In the early morning of February 1, 1974, Bundy broke into the room of Lynda Ann Healy; he beat her unconscious, dressed her in blue jeans, a white blouse, and boots, and carried her away. On March 12, Donna Gail Manson, left her dormitory to attend a jazz concert on campus, but never arrived. On April 17, Susan Elaine Rancourt disappeared while on her way to her dorm room after an advisors' meeting at Central Washington State College in Ellensburg. On May 6, Roberta Kathleen Parks left her dormitory to have coffee with her friends at the Memorial Union, but never arrived. On June 1, Brenda Carol Ball disappeared after leaving the Flame Tavern in Burien, near Seattle; she was last seen in the parking lot, talking to a brown-haired man. On June 11, UW student Georgann Hawkins disappeared while walking to her sorority house.

The murders culminated on July 14, 1974, when Bundy abducted two women, Denise Marie Naslund and Janice Anne Ott, in the daylight and from crowded areas. Five female witnesses said that a good-looking young man, who introduced himself as "Ted", asked their help to unload a sailboat from his car. Four girls refused, but one agreed and accompanied him to his car. She saw there was no sailboat and fled. Using the same story, he approached and abducted Janice Anne Ott and, approximately four hours later, Denise Marie Naslund. On September 6, 1974, two grouse hunters found the skeletal remains of the two girls near a service road in Issaquah. After these happenings, King County police disclosed a composite sketch, that was printed in regional newspapers and transmitted on local television stations. These are not the only murders that he committed, as it is believed that he has killed more than a hundred women.

Arrests, last murders and death

On August 16, 1975, Utah Highway Patrol officer Bob Hayward arrested Bundy in Granger (a Salt Lake City suburb). The officer searched the car after he noticed that the front passenger seat had been removed and placed on the back seats. Inside he found a ski mask, a second mask created from pantyhose, a crowbar, handcuffs, trash bags, a rope, an ice pick, and other items. The police did not have enough evidence to detain Bundy, so he was released. Afterwards, Salt Lake City police placed him on 24-hour surveillance. 

Ted Bundy's 1975 Utah mug shot

In September Bundy sold his Volkswagen Beetle to a Midvale teenager and Utah police impounded it. Inside the car, FBI technicians found hairs of Caryn Campbell, and some hair strands "microscopically indistinguishable" from those of Melissa Smith and Carol DaRonch. There was sufficient evidence to charge him with aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault in the DaRonch case. Further investigation confirmed that he had not been with his girlfriend on any of the nights when the Pacific Northwest victims had vanished. In February 1976 Bundy stood trial for the DaRonch kidnapping, and after a four-day bench trial and a weekend of deliberation, he was found guilty. In June he was sentenced to 15 years in the Utah State Prison, and after a period of resistance he was transferred to Aspen in January 1977. 

While in the Pitkin County Courthouse's library, in Aspen, he opened a window and jumped out, managing to run away. He was a fugitive for six days, until two police officers found him and brought him back in jail. He planned his escape a second time; he sawed a hole of about one square foot between the steel reinforcing bars in his cell's ceiling and, on the night of December 30, stacked books on his bed to simulate his body, climbed into the crawl space and escaped. 

After evading, he travelled from Aspen to Tallahassee, Florida, passing from Chicago, Ann Arbor and Atlanta. There, on January 15, he attacked another five women, Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy who died, Kathy Kleiner, Karen Chandler and Cheryl Thomas who survived. On February 8 he attacked another woman, Kimberly Dianne Leach; her partially mummified remains were found in a pig farrowing shed near Suwannee River State Park, near Lake City. He was arrested four days later by police officer David Lee for having stolen a car. 

Two of Ted Bundy’s victims

After numerous trials and three death sentences, Bundy was executed at 7:16 a.m. on January 24, 1989, at the Florida State Prison in an electric chair. Outside the prison, hundres of people cheered, sang, danced and even set off fireworks. His body was cremated in Gainesville, and no public ceremony was held.

King Kong - Broadway - August 10, 2019 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Christiani Pitts (Ann Darrow), Eric William Morris (Carl Denham), Erik Lochtefeld (Lumpy) NOTES: The full show, recorded from the rear orchestra on a phone. Most of the video is the August 10th recording but occasionally some promotional footage and the February 9th video are edited in to provide other views. The recording starts off with a lot of wandering, shakiness, and washout but gets better somewhat better as it goes on.

This is somewhat more obstructed than other shows because the person in front was leaning forward and moving a lot, so there's a head in some of the scenes. Some shakiness and wandering in between, particularly at the beginning, but otherwise a good video with nice closeups. Complete show including curtain call.

A little on the dark side, in black and white with a slight blue tinge, has producer’s counter numbers hard-coded on the screen in the upper third. This version of the show was produced for the launch of a new station in the UK. After months of preparing the launch of the new television station—with it’s brand-new 625 line resolution (until then UK TV’s had a resolution of 405 lines)—the night turned out to be a disaster. 50 minutes before the launch, a fire broke out at a local power station, cutting power to most of London but not the television station. They started the evening’s news show which was to be followed by this broadcast, but it soon became clear that there was no audience, and after a few minutes, the schedule was abandoned. The production was instead shown the next day. The date that’s superimposed on the video is April 20, 1964—the originally scheduled night.

Η Fed διατήρησε σταθερά τα επιτόκια - Ζητά περισσότερα στοιχεία

Σταθερά, στο εύρος 5,25-5.5% διατήρησε τα επιτόκια η FOMC την Τετάρτη, με ομόφωνη ψήφο και ευθυγραμμιζόμενη με τις προβλέψεις των αγορών, ζητώντας να δει περισσότερα στοιχεία για την πορεία του πληθωρισμού. Αφού αύξησε γρήγορα τα επιτόκια από τις αρχές του 2022, η Fed έχει διατηρήσει τα επιτόκια αμετάβλητα τον περασμένο χρόνο, καθώς ο πληθωρισμός έχει μετριαστεί με ασταθή τρόπο σε έναν ετήσιο ρυθμό 2,5%. Οι κεντρικοί τραπεζίτες δεν έκαναν καμία αλλαγή στη βασική πολιτική δήλωσή τους, ότι δεν αναμένουν ότι θα είναι κατάλληλο να μειώσουν τα επιτόκια μέχρι να αποκτήσουν μεγαλύτερη εμπιστοσύνη ότι ο πληθωρισμός κινείται βιώσιμα προς τον στόχο του 2%. Υπήρξαν πολλές μικρές προσαρμογές στη δήλωση για να δείξουν ότι η Fed παρακολουθεί πιο στενά την αγορά εργασίας. Η ψήφος των 12 μελών της Fed που ψηφίζουν ήταν ομόφωνη. Η ανακοίνωση της Fed Πρόσφατοι δείκτες υποδηλώνουν ότι η οικονομική δραστηριότητα συνεχίζει να επεκτείνεται με σταθερό ρυθμό. Οι αυξήσεις θέσεων εργασίας έχουν μετριαστεί και το ποσοστό ανεργίας έχει αυξηθεί, αλλά παραμένει χαμηλό. Ο πληθωρισμός έχει υποχωρήσει το τελευταίο έτος, αλλά παραμένει κάπως αυξημένος. Τους τελευτα��ους μήνες, σημειώθηκε περαιτέρω πρόοδος προς την επίτευξη του στόχου της Επιτροπής για πληθωρισμό 2%. Η Επιτροπή επιδιώκει να επιτύχει τη μέγιστη απασχόληση και τον πληθωρισμό στο ποσοστό του 2% μακροπρόθεσμα. Η Επιτροπή κρίνει ότι οι κίνδυνοι για την επίτευξη των στόχων της για την απασχόληση και τον πληθωρισμό συνεχίζουν να ισορροπούν καλύτερα. Οι οικονομικές προοπτικές είναι αβέβαιες και η Επιτροπή είναι προσεκτική στους κινδύνους και για τις δύο πλευρές της διπλής εντολής της. Για την υποστήριξη των στόχων της, η Επιτροπή αποφάσισε να διατηρήσει το εύρος στόχου για το επιτόκιο των ομοσπονδιακών κεφαλαίων στο 5-1/4 έως 5-1/2%. Κατά την εξέταση τυχόν προσαρμογών στο εύρος στόχου για το επιτόκιο των ομοσπονδιακών κεφαλαίων, η Επιτροπή θα αξιολογήσει προσεκτικά τα εισερχόμενα δεδομένα, τις εξελισσόμενες προοπτικές και την ισορροπία των κινδύνων. Η Επιτροπή δεν αναμένει ότι θα είναι σκόπιμο να μειώσει το εύρος στόχου μέχρι να αποκτήσει μεγαλύτερη εμπιστοσύνη ότι ο πληθωρισμός κινείται με βιώσιμο τρόπο προς το 2%. Επιπλέον, η Επιτροπή θα συνεχίσει να μειώνει τις κατοχές της σε κρατικά ομόλογα και χρέος οργανισμών και χρεόγραφα με υποθήκη οργανισμών. Η Επιτροπή είναι έντονα δεσμευμένη να επαναφέρει τον πληθωρισμό στο στόχο του 2%. Κατά την αξιολόγηση της κατάλληλης στάσης της νομισματικής πολιτικής, η Επιτροπή θα συνεχίσει να παρακολουθεί τις επιπτώσεις των εισερχόμενων πληροφοριών για τις οικονομικές προοπτικές. Η Επιτροπή θα ήταν προετοιμασμένη να προσαρμόσει τη στάση της νομισματικής πολιτικής όπως αρμόζει αν προκύψουν κίνδυνοι που θα μπορούσαν να εμποδίσουν την επίτευξη των στόχων της Επιτροπής. Οι αξιολογήσεις της Επιτροπής θα λαμβάνουν υπόψη ένα ευρύ φάσμα πληροφοριών, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των αναγνώσεων για τις συνθήκες της αγοράς εργασίας, τις πιέσεις του πληθωρισμού και τις προσδοκίες για τον πληθωρισμό, καθώς και τις χρηματοοικονομικές και διεθνείς εξελίξεις. Υπέρ της δράσης της νομισματικής πολιτικής ψήφισαν οι Jerome H. Powell, Πρόεδρος; John C. Williams, Αντιπρόεδρος; Thomas I. Barkin; Michael S. Barr; Raphael W. Bostic; Michelle W. Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Mary C. Daly; Austan D. Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Adriana D. Kugler; και Christopher J. Waller. Ο Austan D. Goolsbee ψήφισε ως αναπληρωματικό μέλος σε αυτή τη συνεδρίαση.
