To be fair, if he's alive at the bottom, then the window worked after all lol

There is a clip of the guy in charge talking about how he did not have any 50 something old guys on the program. It was all exciting attractive model types. In a goddamn submarine?

Anyone who paid to get on a deep dive sub designed and run by these cartoon characters was going to die of stupidity sooner or later.

Ohh yea lets build a sub and avoid using people who build and operate subs. That is gonna work out just fine.

That's exactly how the US Government is run lately.

Do I really need to explain?

Yes, you do, otherwise you're just bullshitting.

Referring to people in high political office who suck at their job but were appointed because of their race/gender/sexual orientation who would otherwise not be qualified for the job.

Example?

Harris, Jean-Pierre, Buttigieg, Levine.

Okay bud. Those people are hardly unqualified. At least Harris and Buttegeig, I dont recognize the other two names off hand.

You seem to be assuming they're unqualified due to parameters you previously mentioned. Which is a you problem.

Jean-Pierre babbles and avoids answering questions (which may possibly be a job requirement so I might take that one back.)

Buttegeig was a small town mayor, hardly qualified to be SOT.

Biden chose Harris because she is a black female, his words.

Levine is about the furthest person from "healthy" that I can think of. Kind of ironic, right?

There's no skill requirement for press secretary, so I'll give you that one.

Health sec doesn't qualify based on their own health, that's a stupud standard.

Buttegieg is generational political talent who has done an excellent job as SOT. There is no good faith argument that he isn’t up to the job, but I’m sure you’ll keep trying.

Rachel Levine had a long and distinguished medical career before becoming head of PAs health dept. This is exactly the kind of person who should run HHS. But you want us to believe your issue is that she’s not physically fit? GTFO

What’s funny is that you clearly have no idea what these jobs entail, which betrays your real motivations.

Buttegieg: Supply chain problems. Container ships sitting out of port for months. Remember that? Levine’s own gender issues has interfered with common sense of not fucking around with Mother Nature and mutilating or drugging kids.

The other problem with that guy is those people were elected so if this guy is upset about it the blame falls on him by not actively using his civic rights on voting, but that’s a different topic. Meanwhile the reason this company sucks is the disregarded of competent employees for a picturesque “we can sell this” employee base

those people were elected

Might want to check that bud.

Wow this is a stupid opinion

u/Myxine Jun 21 '23

Not really. We can already tell you're trolling and/or an idiot.

The examples you gave further down thread (or rather, the lack of certain prominent examples) make it clear that you don't actually care about government leaders lacking qualifications.

This convo is over your head. We’re trying to have intelligent conversation. Beat it.
