Michael Batnick

You don't have to be like a diplomat.

But yeah, I don't know.

I mean, what's the upside?

What's the upside of what?

Him.

Well, he's in charge now.

He's the boss.

Well, I mean, I think it's as likely that the Fed captures him than he captures the Fed, right?

He's going in there talking about regime change, I think.

If I were a betting man, I would say that the Fed is more likely to influence him than the other way around.

Yeah, look at his career, Michael, if you've ever seen him.

You know, when he was governor, he never gave actually speeches on the economic outlook.

You know, it's like, oh, here's Governor Warren or Lori Logan talking about the economic and policy outlook.

He never gave those speeches, really.

If you go through his record, most of his speeches are like,

sort of like very kind of like high level, like philosophical.

He's like freaking going around talking about Immanuel Kant and like these like people that you've like heard in like literature class, like in your freshman year of college or something.

I mean, it's very bizarre to be talking in those terms for like a central banker.

Um, I think the change is very curious considering it happened during a period where he was actively campaigning for a job.

And so to me, that's like, to me, that's like the knock on him.
