Better than someone who was good at a board game...

Ok, I'm going to say it... what qualifications does this guy have for this position? He has zero experience in road engineering, construction, aviation, infrastructure, etc that I can find.

What qualifications did bootiejuggs have? When you can tell me that I'll agree with you.

Two wrongs don't make a right?

In this situation, GOP is doing the exact thing that we chastised them for. Not a great look. Have not been impressed with about 50% of these Cabinet nominees.

I'm impressed by all of them. None of them are trans, good enough.

Like any other CEO. You hire/appoint people that do. Other than state governors, no POTUS ever had any experience in running a sno-ball stand, much less a country. It's about getting people in these positions that are going to be pro-active and inquisitive to find out where problems lie and have problem solving skills to improve things. Instead of going on maternity leave for three months or being in the hospital for a week and no one even miss them. Would you prefer a bus driver in the position?

Transportation is almost always a politician. But I'd take a House member over the mayor of a small city.

What qualifications did Elaine McConnell have?

The guy from the Real World?

Meh…

We don’t have the money to build anything anyway.

He also was a congressman from Wisconsin.

Btw, experience in a particular area is, IMO, not a prerequisite for a department head in the federal government.

Look at it this way. NOTHING the federal government does creates anything. It is all pure bureaucracy. Experience is a bad thing b/c then you're indoctrinated to the idea that the current way is a good way to do things.

Especially in an era where you're looking to eliminate the fat in a huge way.

Im not sure being better than Peter Buttgig means qualified but whatever.

They cant all be lion tamers
