The Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the US, announced it has named Xbox CEO Asha Sharma as one of three advisors on the Productivity and Jobs task force.
The task force will "assess the economic impact of new general-purpose technologies, including artificial intelligence, to inform the Federal Reserve's policy judgments."
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh stated, "The Federal Reserve's commitment to price stability and maximum employment is unwavering. As is our resolve to pursue our mandate with rigor. The U.S. economy has changed significantly over the last generation, and never more so than right now.
"Each task force will carefully consider whether policymakers' means and methods, analytical tools and policy approaches can be improved upon. I am honored that the best minds from a range of disciplines have agreed to work with us to sharpen our performance as an institution. The goal is straightforward: to ensure the Fed is best positioned to achieve our objectives in this consequential time."

LOL WHAT?!?
In the same week of one of biggest jobs cuts ever at Xbox.
At this point all I can say is LMAO.
Xbox not very productive

Next week's headline "Federal Reserve Replaced by AI"
Typical L from both the Trump administration and Xbox.
The jokes write themselves here.
Lol shes a beast. Good on her.
She might as well jump ship if it's going down
If its going down.
Even if XBOX isn't going down, it's going to be in a weakened state for a while. So, what's the point in staying if she's wanting an exiting career?
You realize the best part of her job is working on a brand that has yet to peak. If she comes in and doubles the sales of Xbox Hardware/Software, thats alot of Share holders happy. Its easier to increase sales of Xbox then it is to increase Sony or Nintendo sales as they have already peaked.
Her reputation of helping a struggling brand is more powerful then her walking into a brand to maintain the success.
By your logic, it must make her both sad and worrying over her professional reputation to work on a declining brand.
What? She wants the challenge, and if she can ignite the brand, she will go down as one of the best, and won't be forgotten.
Not sure what sadness has to do with this.
Sounds like she´s keeping her schedule open to fit in some time at Xbox between the golf games with Trump and Bessent and Lutnick and the rest of the Epstein class...
'Federal Reserve lays off 50% of it's staff'.

Ah, so another criminal.

Is she looking for a new job already?
I guess lunch is on her.

How the hell is she getting all these huge jobs one after another? She's barely been in her current xbox positiin
Shes cousins with Microsoft ceo
Ahhhh nepotism. Figures
This is not true
America is royally fucked.
XBOX -> FOMC -> DOGE
Cool, maybe Microsoft can get more H-1B visas. They can fire thousands more for cheaper labor. Oh well, that's why I invest.
