>>Which is pretty much exactly how you would expect a "I have no idea what I'm doing but I don't want to fuck it up so I'll fill my cabinet with people who know what they're doing and let them do their thing" administration to work. Sorry, but have to actually seen his cabinet? Ben Carson heading Housing and Urban Development. Betsy Davis heading Department of Education. Rick Perry, a guy with a bachelors degree in animal science, heading the Department of Energy... these people are some of the least qualified people on the planet.

So many people in positions of authority are the least qualified. Trump, and his advisers, picked people whom he could manipulate. I do believe in a lot of what Trump promised though. A lot of us felt left out of this new economy, or taken advantage of? Yes--the better health care insurance was fine, but if your close to being homeless, it doesn't matter. That said, if the appointment of Rick Perry doesn't prove that wealthy, lucky kids will eventually be the boss; I don't know what will? (He supposedly didn't understand the basic concept of a simple centerfuge? He didn't understand the concept of the spinning machine, and what it could be used for?) I grew up with wealthy kids. I grew up in Marin County. A lot of you will recognize the county. It's the county your boss might be eying on their short list. All those kids, even the kids who ruined their minds in college ingesting too many drugs, are doing well right now. That generational money got to them. Hacker News doesn't like to bring up just how much money, and inside guidance helps a person, but in my world it's a law. What are qualification anyways? I'm sure all these appointees have glorious looking resumes. I think everyone of you has looked at that inept boss, and wondered, "How on earth did he/she get there?"
