This is Michael Scott levels of managerial nonsense, bloody hell. Is Trump incapable of hiring anyone borderline competent?

The only thing these morons understand are surface level appearances. That's why we have so many TV people. - Trump: The Apprentice - Defense: Hegseth: Fox News - Transportation: Sean Duffy: Real World / Road Rules - Education: Linda McMahon: WWE (yes, wrestling) ... I don't feel like going any further, it's too depressing. Edit: I just realized that Duffy is SecTrans because he was on Road Rules.

  Dear Lord... I'd not picked up on this- if true (I need to validate it for myself).

    I forgot Dr. Oz, who is in charge of Health and Human Services. Lots of articles about this; here's a random one: https://deadline.com/gallery/fox-news-personalities-trump-white-house-list/ https://deadline.com/gallery/fox-news-personalities-trump-wh...

        I'm sorry but the vaccine-skeptic RFKjr is US Health Secretary?

  I don't know that being a contestant in a couple of reality tv shows in college makes Sean Duffy a TV person McMahon on the other hand was founder and president of WWE

  Blinken was the name of the blind character sidekick in Men in Tights back in the day, so the preference of an actually less appropriate font for reading is on script.

  There's a difference between "Let's use Calibri to make our documents more readable" and "Let's go back to TNR becuase using Calibri is woke nonsense by Biden's guy". They could have used pretty much any other reason to switch back to TNR, but decided to make it a childish DEI/"woke" jab.

    Is there any evidence that sans-serif typefaces are more readable? I’ve previously seen headlines claiming the opposite.

      You can find evidence for both sides, because life is more complicated than that. Do you have 20/20 vision? Hi-def screen? High contrast? Floaters in your eyes? Cataracts? Are you tired? How is the text laid out? Line spacing? Literally all of these can impact the answer.

        Ok, now insert "broadly" or "generally" into the previous comment and respond to what they actually meant.

        Mixed evidence like they said, it depends
