I do not want to actually live in a system where _elected non expert_ people are making decisions for health, communications, space travel rules, internet access, business rules, agriculture, flight regulations, etc.
Someone getting elected is not qualified to make these decisions. They are however, somewhat qualified to represent the will of the people they represent by setting up agencies with missions to address these problems that hires experts to solve them.
Our country has a lot of failures. Executive agencies are not one of them.
- rayiner 3y agoOur constitution creates a republic, governed by elected representatives. Not an expertocracy where our elected representatives simply serve to appoint and facilitate the work of Harvard graduates who actually run the country. The rightful government is the one the Constitution created, not the pretender to the throne we have now.
