Rarely in life does one receive a message so clear and blatant as the one being given by the Fed right now.

It's not a question of if the Fed makes a mistake and brings about a hard landing. Rather, they're being extremely clear that a hard landing is exactly what's coming and it'll be no mistake when it occurs.
