There is a snowballing aspect to ineptitude. Because people will simply not care about 'status' in an inept organization. If I were some brilliant engineer, I would never want to work for the usa. It isan inept country. I would rather work for Russia.Buffalo » 24 Jul 2024, 12:22 pm » wrote: ↑ July 23, 2024
America’s crisis of ineptitude
By Patricia McCarthy
Only in D.C., can one fail up, be continually promoted for having failed at their previous position. They are appointed for race, class or gender reasons and, more often than not, are inept at their jobs.
Consider Pete Buttigieg, named Transportation Secretary. He has been as absent and totally ineffective as Cheatle — from the East Palestine train disaster, the Baltimore bridge collapse, and the building of E.V. charging stations. Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, could do nothing but laugh Kamala-like when asked when gas prices might come down. Consider Sam Brinton, Biden’s former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy who is a non-binary, cross-dressing luggage thief. Like Buttigieg, he was chosen for his gender identity, a cross-dressing, gay man. And, of course, there is Kamala Harris, selected for her gender and race. Biden pledged to appoint a black woman; her qualifications for the job were clearly not considered. His Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, was chosen for his race; he is partly responsible for the deadly and misguided withdrawal from Afghanistan. Treasury Secretary Yellen was selected for who knows what reason? She, like most of the others, is absolutely clueless on the economy.
