CEOs have legal responsibilities and laws that they have to follow. It takes time to learn those and they are complex enough to not be instinctive.
The poker analogy is that some people within Full Tilt Poker thought that as FTP grew, that they should hire experienced, professional executives because the company was growing too large to be handled by people like Ray Bitar and Howard Lederer, who were deemed to be over their heads.
Ideally, we have people work their way up from local to state to national government. Now, we have people jumping straight to the White House without any political experience. Itās not just about learning rules. Itās about learning how things work from the inside.
Iām very skeptical of what I see as a libertarian, DIY, self-sufficient ethos. I donāt believe that government is supposed to be this simple thing that any intelligent person is able to come in off the street and do.
This feels intuitively correct to me, but how does one account for AOC for example? Not all āinexperiencedā people are Donnie Dumb Dumb.
It actually seems to me more relevant for a newcomer to believe that government can make the world better, rather than having somebody come in with 20 years of knowing how the sausage is made.
Ideally, there should be a mix of experienced legislators and new blood. Current conditions are not conducive to getting the right mix, but term limits are a massive over-reaction that donāt address the main problems with American politics.
Pretty sure the third circle of hell is ābeing pretty sure you have diverticulitis but not wanting to go in to the ER you work at in case your wrong while your wife judgingly waits for you to admit you need to go inā
The lyrics are pretty anti-fascist, anti-war and generally left of center? Dave had a hit song about species extinction in the early 90ās; he wasnāt super Republican in those days.
(A) a bit of an extreme outlier in her own ways.
and
(B) not what I would necessarily consider inexperienced given her age at the time she ran. She studied relevant topics in college (Econ and International Relations). She interned for Ted Kennedy in college. Kennedy was a very experienced politician who was specifically known for having a robust policy shop staffed with people who had worked for him for a long time and knew their way around the system. She worked on the Bernie campaign in 2016. She did a bunch of on the ground organizing with non profits in New York. Yes, she happened to be a bartender when she ran, but she was clearly someone who had an interest in politics and had worked to build up some skills. She didnāt just wake up one day and decide to run.
(C) We have no idea what the future looks like for her. Maybe sheāll run higher office. Maybe sheāll get burnt out of electoral politics and go do something else with her life. Maybe sheāll stay in a safe house seat for 30 years and eventually become an out of touch eDem. Who knows? But regardless, do you want her path to be influenced by a rule that would say that even if she wanted to stay in the job, and even if the people of her district wanted her to stay, she canāt?
I guess the counterpoint is whether Iād be willing to trade say only 6 years of AOC for knowing that Iād only have 6 years of Marjorie Taylor Greeneā¦
I keep telling people this centuryās dominant field in terms of changing the way life works for humans is Biology. There is so much hiding directly behind a few different hard problems its insane. If any of them gets busted itās going to be completely bonkersā¦ and if none of them do itāll still be the thing that changes our lives the most just off the back of mRNA vaccines.
Funny. Edit: Musk himself offers a pretty good counter-argument imo:
āHonestly, I think I would know if there were aliens,ā
Supposedly the leaked video is shitty compared to stuff soon to be released. I canāt find my source for that atm but it was probably Trumpās guy (John Ratcliffe). Thereās a report due in June.
Apparently, theyāre not calling them UFOs anymore. Theyāre unidentified aerial phenomena, UAPs.
