Bharat, this is off topic. I am enamored with the piece of art behind you on the 11th hour tonight. Would you be kind enough to tell me what it is? Thanks!

I’m glad you like it! We bought it many years ago at a small gallery in Portland, Maine but I seem to have lost the name of the artist. I will try to dig it up.

If Powell stays on, does Trump have to appoint a current board member? How do you get back to 12 voters?

Good question. One of the fed board members (Stephen Miran) has a term that expires this January. I suspect Trump will nominate his preferred chair to fill that upcoming vacancy on the board (a 13 year term), in addition to nominating them for a four year term as chair to replace Powell once Powell’s chair term ends. If Powell then decides to stay on as a regular board member, there would be no additional seats to fill but Trump’s preferred chair would be in place.

I forgot about Miran filling in a term. That makes sense.
