Two presidents in a row have treated this position as a political award and it’s not a good idea. Buttigieg had nothing beyond being mayor of a small city and Duffy has less than that.

Moving people and things safely is kind of important…can we please get anyone who has at least worked in industry or has really good exec experience?

DCA crash literally 2 days after he's sworn in and then this ground stop that appears to be a DEI contractor special.

Please tell me: a) how these are his fault and b) how else you believe he's failed at DOT? The fact you never hear his name means he's probably doing his job.

I'd think almost everyone who could have that position would be... I mean unless they worked in the airline, railroad, highway, shipping industries in their prior lives.

He's at least taken the role seriously, unlike bike riding buddibug.

However, his presser was pretty fricking terrible and leaned way to heavy into "give me the money" "trump is the goat" than just stating facts and "this is why we asked for and need the requested funding... call your rep because unless we upgrade as intended, this is more and more likely to occur"

Who were the grandly “qualified” DOT heads prior?

You know. The kind you seemingly long for.

Eh. What you’re seeing is very common in rent-seeking, Socialist countries.

Who’s commanding the Titanic after you’ve hit the iceberg doesn’t really matter.

Having any practical experience at anything is no longer a requirement in the US government. Look to the future with president AOC and VP Jasmine Crockett.

It's no different than the pre Katrina governors putting political buddies with no engineering experience or education on the Orleans parish and Jefferson Parish levee boards. What could go wrong?

It’s unfortunately where we are at right now. Competence is now replaced with how well you suck up the Donnie for the Rs and how much you fit in with the alphabet mafia for the Ds.

All past posits in this post didn't revamp, he is by force.

Buttigieg was well qualified for the position. He is extremely well educated with a work history that includes Kinsey. When he was running for president, infrastructure deficiencies was his primary issue.

The telling thing is that when the morons in charge were holding their reality TV press conference praising Trump, Buttigieg held a press conference in which they actually talked about the air traffic control system, where it needed upgrades, why it likely failed, and asked the obvious question of what happened to the money already appropriated for upgrades.

The current head was unable to provide a coherent discussion or explanation, however, Buttigieg was able to fluently explain and converse about it.

That tells you pretty much everything.

Wait until you hear about affirmative action, DEI, and minority jobs. It will really knock your socks off.

This somehow makes him qualified because he is "well educated"? There are millions of people who went to good schools and got degrees, but are worthless in real life. Look at the generation of college students today. Buttplug was AWOL most of the time.
