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.

Wow…

In case we had any remaining shreds of thought that the #USTreasury and #TheFed had any control over the #moneyPrinter. #Biden has appointed ex-#FederalReserve chairwoman #JanetYellen.

Boy oh boy (— or girl oh girl)

These people cannot be trusted to deliver sound #monetaryPolicy — or #fiscalPolicy for that matter.

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.

Honest question: Should we be paying #CEOs extortionate amounts, to make mostly myopic decisions for the sake of producing #meaninglessWork?

Couldn't we just train #monkeys or #octopuses to make the decision? All we'd need to do is work out the most effective way to communicate an idea to them and we would be done.

Thoughts?
