Biden Fed nominee faces grilling over reparations and police reform

[WashingtonExaminer] The battle over a Biden Federal Reserve nominee is escalating as Republicans prepare to grill her over her outspoken political advocacy, including her political support for reparations and policing reform, and Democrats accuse her critics of bias.

Lisa Cook, a professor of economics at Michigan State University who served under President Barack Obama as a senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisers, was nominated by President Joe Biden to serve on the Fed’s Board of Governors. During her confirmation hearing Thursday, Republicans are planning to highlight her past political remarks and social media use to raise questions about her commitment to remaining nonpartisan as a top Fed official.

What about the 32++million that have naturally acaiired immunity from having it in the last 60 to 90days?. Or is the goal to pump everyone UP with an experimental VAX?

#3 Why is this any concern of the Federal Reserve at all?

And why do we have this endless parade of clueless academics? Would it kill them to nominate someone with real-world experience?

#4 So, can I demand reparations for being out of work due to poor Covid management? No, really!
