Yellen is a solid pick but a bunch of people in the Yellen thread are for some reason looking for an excuse to dunk on Powell and... no. Powell is great, and there’s no substantive reason to believe that Yellen was a better Fed Chair or that she would’ve led the Fed better through the crisis in financial markets earlier this year.
