#cronyism — Public Fediverse posts

@RHW @treleanor
The dreadful #cronyism of political appointees to senior public service roles (SES to Secretary) is a thin wedge killing our democratic institutions. We’ve been slipping to the right wing of politics for decades and the electorate has done sweet FA about it… is it too late?

I must confess that the auhor *Lost* me when he advocated for major increases in the remuneration of politicians based on the falsifiable premise that higher salaries attracts more competent *managers*. False premises and undisclosed assumptions is the killer blow to any quazy-academic postulate, and the author fell for both of them IMO.

Happy to be criticized for my review.

Everything is fine.

"Most Americans say that they can afford basic necessities like their current housing costs, groceries, utilities and gasoline. But large numbers across income levels also say larger expenses and the cost of things associated with an enjoyable life — including taking a weeklong vacation — are out of reach"

Someone once said, "The fact that there exists a #business.gov.au makes me want to sh!t in the mouth of #policymakers, #bureaucrats and their #cronies in #government".

That person is perhaps the most #intelligent person we know.
