Toni Fakoohi expresses concern over the new Federal Reserve Chair's preference for minimal communication, noting that while it may have worked in earlier eras, it's risky in today's social media landscape. She argues that silence from the Fed Chair allows misinformation and speculation to fill the vacuum, a stark contrast to the more controlled information environment of past decades.
“But I'm a little bit worried about the future because I think he wants to be he wants to play more close to the vest. But this isn't twenty twenty eleven anymore. Now we've got the social media error where if you don't speak, everybody else will fill in for in that vacuum for you.”
“All the FED chair all the FED. Governors, the presidents, every commentator out there, all the you know, and that's that's where playing it close to the vest may not work when it is a couple of year, a couple of decades.”
