Ron Paul is 89 years old and (seemingly) had a stroke in 2020 on his broadcast.

We need fresher blood to carry his torch now, and for years to come.

Put him in as a high-level consultant instead. His time to lead the Fed (and end it) has passed.

He still seems pretty sharp, and it would be all about what kind of team he puts together to do the grunt work on his behalf.

My point still stands though. He can do all of that while in a high-level consultancy position. And if he passes in, say, 2026 (reminder that he'll be 90 years old) the core team can carry on. The continuity of the team stays relatively intact, instead of losing much of its direction via the leader's departure. Same happens in ad hoc business groups setup to tackle problems.

DonтАЩt forget, his son, Rand, seems to have proudly followed in his DadтАЩs footsteps. Rand is young, and intelligent. HeтАЩs an alumnus of тАШPaulтАЩ University. In a time of controversial, medical тАЬcrisesтАЭ like what we are experiencing with covid, bird flu, monkey pox, etc, the fact that both of the PaulтАЩs are MDтАЩs is an added asset.

He's not as charismatic as his dad unfortunately. I agree with his positions largely though.
