The feds job isn't to save the stock market, it's to keep inflation and unemployment low. Lowering rates now does nothing for either.

Thats not entirely correct. Tariffs do make the dollar stronger ( or at least make its rate of decrease slower), and so fed cuts limit this effect by making it weaker again so people will spend it.
