What do you mean by 'informed posters'?

Id say CEO of one of the biggest companies on earth is enough to qualify vs most of the trash in the obama administration

One of the most respected executives in the world
CEO of largest private oil and gas company in the world
Unparalled biz experience dealing with foreign nations ranging from Russia to china.
Not a politician

So far I've learned he actually isn't John Bolton

Tillerson joined The Exxon Company in 1975 as a production engineer.[10]
In 1989, Tillerson became general manager of the central production division of Exxon USA.[10]
In 1995, he became president of Exxon Yemen Inc. and Esso Exploration and Production Khorat Inc.[10]
In 1998, he became a vice president of Exxon Ventures (CIS) and president of Exxon Neftegas Limited with responsibility for Exxon's holdings in Russia and the Caspian Sea. In 1999, with the merger of Exxon and Mobil, he was named Executive Vice President of ExxonMobil Development Company. [10]
In 2004, he became president and director of Exxon Mobil.[10]
On January 1, 2006, Tillerson was elected chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), following the retirement of Lee Raymond.[10]
That sounds appealing on some levels.
Also, he hates sanctions because of who they really effect (hint, consumers) . Also, he knows Russia, and doesn't want war and conflict with them. That is a positive change from the last 50 years.
I like the pick, but I'm bo expert.

Rex is a billionaire, has five pounds of balls and enough hair on his arse to weave an indian blanket. He loves Russian pussy and is tight with Putin who is on board with MAGA and that is all you need to know until the God Emperor tells you something he wants you to know. Sit back and count the money, the good times are about to roll.

Exxon is an extremely structured company. They have written procedures and systems for every part of their jobs and continuously audit themselves to confirm compliance with all procedures. They also continuously evaluate their business lines and geographical footprint and rid themselves if the risk is too high or potential profit too low. For example, they sold all their assets in California, no longer own any gas stations (all privately owned) and sold their Chalmette refinery. That approach could serve our country well.

I am going to easily say he is a stronger pick for this than the last two SoS. He was the CEO of a massive company that is full of some of the brightest people on earth from various disciplines in business and engineering from management down to the new graduate hires.

As CEO of Exxon/Mobile he brings a unique world view with him to the State Department.
He has a working relationship with major players in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and Russia. What he lacks in a formal diplomat background he can more than compensate for by having had to deal with a variety of global players for years.
XOM stock is by far my largest financial asset and he has done a fantastic job as CEO. My only concern is that his leaving Exxon so unexpectedly might create a temporary leadership void at Exxon and might have a negative effect on XOM's price.
