- gruez 1y ago>At the very least there should be an ethics committee looking into it What would the ethics committee be considering? >possibly barring him from working in a related field for eg 5 years So anyone who wants to be a political appointee either has to be a total outsider in the field they're supposed to be regulating, or take a 5 year pay cut? Given that political appointees tend to be partisan hacks anyways, this is only going to make that problem worse. It basically invites a repeat of Musk and DOGE.
