Re: Jerome Powell

The week's question

In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'd say he looked a little annoyed at the questions, but Powell always looks a little annoyed.

By my reckoning (with the help of Wikipedia), Powell will be in office until Feb 5, 2026, at which time Trump will have the prerogative to replace him. The term is for 4 years by law, and Biden appointed him (actually reappointed him after Trump first appointed him to the office to serve starting on Feb 5, 2018) to serve starting on Feb 5, 2022.
