      I feel that someone with a large, heavy club could solve a few of our issues. Caveman tactics still work!

    Does having working experience as a gardener and as a grocery store assistant somehow, disqualify you from doing a , may I say, very straightforward job?

    I am pretty sure he won’t do all of that by himself, what would be the issue then? No enough experience?

    Please, complain more later in other threads about how young people can’t get a job because they are inexperienced

    It’s official, Lemmy is filled to the brim with conservative boomers larping as collectivists LMAO

      Yup. That’s the take. You’re so 100% correct. No difference between the typical grievance about needing 15 year experience for a 10 year old system and a guy who had 2 part time entry level jobs running a department of a (for now) global super power.

      I’m so glad you were so smart you could show how hypocritical it is. Cause they’re the EXACT SAME situations.

      Should this kid be able to get a job somewhere in that agency? Sure, maybe. Should they be leading a major government department with zero experience? Absolutely not.

      Just like an alcoholic talking head shouldn’t be leading our defense department. Or a fucking WWE wife being anywhere near leading education for the country. This isn’t about qualifications. It’s about nepotism and grifting.

    More concerned with the 22 then what he was doing at 17. I’m not against younger blood in leadership roles but you got to have done the job at least somewhat. If the guy was 35 or so and had been at it for a decade, that’d be a different beast. This feels like a nepo hire

      Not necessarily a nepo hire, but they are scraping the barrel.

      Project 2025’s playbook was to fire all the existing people in the federal government and replace them with Trump loyalists. To that end, they created a list of pre-vetted replacements.

      Problem is, those people are vetted for loyalty first, and competence a distant second. Also, a lot of them likely have jobs already that are more lucrative than a federal position. In other cases, their circumstances change in the months in between vetting and the offer becoming concrete. So even though they may have a few thousand people on the list, a big chunk of them aren’t going to accept when the time comes. Those that do aren’t necessarily going to be qualified in any way.

      What may be surprising here is that they’re scraping the bottom so quickly. You’d think out of several thousand possibilities, they could find someone more qualified than this guy.

      This tends to be destructive in the short term, because incompetent people are making important decisions. In the long term, it’s one of the self-defeating factors of fascism. A system just can’t work this way, but it can destroy the rest of society before it implodes on itself.

    That’s a big task, preventing the US or one of their many proxies from doing terrorist attacks
