Rieder would be too good for the Fed. He might become bored. I've seen some interviews. His encyclopedic knowledge and ability to process and articulate seemingly unrelated strands of analysis into what matters is suitably impressive.

Love to be a fly on the wall for that interview then ; an articulate individual with an encyclopaedic knowledge base versus this Rieder guy .

No competition ; it’ll be the easiest, peasiest , bestest interview ever in the history of interviews .
