Aren't a larger number of politicians in China formerly scientists/engineers? I'm not sure if tech people do any better than others in this regard.

- javajosh 5y agoI've heard that, but I don't know. Other counter-examples: Angela Merkel is a scientist. But the only ones I can think of in the US are few. Andrew Yang. Zuckerberg is also rumored to have desire for political power. Carla Fiorina was CEO of HP and ran for CA governor, but I'm not sure if she was tech-wise or not.
