    What qualifications does a mayor of bumfuck college town Indiana have to jump directly to secretary of transportation? Shouldn't you need years of education and industry experience for a job like this? Even some airline or amtrak executive, conflict of interest aside, would make 100x more sense bureaucratically

      Pretty certain they just stuck him there as a waiting room for when they inevitably try to run him again in '24/'28

      These morons won't even do the basic job that would make capitalism run smoother (resulting in more profits in the long term), even tho capitalism is their ideology.

      To be fair, anyone who Biden appointed would probably behave the same way, "experience" or not.

      I legitimately think anyone that has posted in /c/urbanism would be a better choice. Atleast we would just spend all day responding to everyone with, "Just build a fucking train."

      He increased the towns racism budget and fraudulently manipulated the primary. This makes him more than qualified.

        Hey, now -- he also killed thousands more shelter dogs than any other comparably sized town in the US

      You literally just hire someone who knows what they're doing and listen to them, exactly like every cabinet position

        This is still technically better than the last administration's cabinet, who were all chosen based on their suitability for looting and dismantling their area of authority.
