  There were several comments regarding the Fed Chair pick in another thread.
  I thought it might be beneficial to create a dedicated thread for this.

  Krugman as usual nails it: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir-day-at-the-fed
  
  Warsh's affiliation with Hoover should be disqualifying all by itself.

  Thanks for sharing.
  Paul Krugman provides some interesting information regarding Mr. Warsh.

  Rieder must have answered some questions incorrectly in yesterday's interview. Probably refused to make a compact with the devil.
  
  However, one wonders why anyone would want a job where the guy who nominated you for the position later refers to you in public as: "a knucklehead", "a numbskull", "stupid", "incompetent", "crooked", and "a jerk".
  
  I can go online and get called those things. No need to show up at work.

  It's a Trump pick, in any case. So, no matter what, the country's taking it in the shorts. The Orange Abomination wants cheap money. He'll get it.

  "Rieder must have answered some questions incorrectly in yesterday's interview."
  
  Mr. Rieder may now have the time to investigate recent events at BlackRock TCP Capital.
