Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Person with glasses and a tie says: "For too long, we at the Federal Reserve have looked to our charts and graphs, without considering real effects on real people! But people aren't statistics! They have complex, meaningful lives!"

Panel 2: The same person continues: "From now on, we'll go with what we see before our eyes, not what a bunch of equations tell us!"

Bottom Panel: Text on a scroll-like banner reads: "Interest rate rises 5% Because coffee shop outside federal reserve is 'doing pretty good'"
