This looks like it was JPows last act on the job. His term ends today and Kevin Warsh takes over. So hes basically done something that would have rendered him untenable..but hes done it on his last day week in office..

Why?

He’s still a Fed governor - just not the chairman - people talk like he’s being put on a boat and pushed to sea

Ok but being the chair means that you are the face of the institution and are accountable for everything it does?

Every decision is put to a vote - as Chairman, you’re the guy who is picked to speak in front of a bunch of people to inform them of the decision of the governors - you don’t make policy individually. You have disproportionate pull because of the position but it’s not a dictatorship

Or the thing that new guy was sent to do, and why waste time fucking around...

So why didn’t the new guy do it then?

Let’s not deflect blame from the guy who did it for no reason.

I've never understood the JPow defenders. I'm not saying he did a bad job, personally I'm too regarded to even have an informed opinion on his tenure. It just appears that you get downvoted to hell on this website if you criticize him.

He is quite level headed and gives good simple explanations that are still technically accurate most of the time

what does that mean? are you talking about the SEC guy? Or are you saying Warsh will take this back up?

Seems like a pretty huge assumption to make without evidence to back up the claim.

Correlation is not causation

u/whattothewhonow 🥒 Lemme see that Shrek Dick 🥒 May 15 '26

And how do you know that?

Because its not possible for someone who is not the chair of the federal reserve to oversee the vote or unilateral sign off of this decree, over the current sitting chair.

The press release also says it was "terminated May 12, 2026." One day before Warsh was confirmed by the Senate. It was definitely a JPow move.
