Wasn't the ex reality TV star who became president and put a news reader in charge of the military and anti-vaxxer in charge of healthcare, just talking about and glorifying meritocracies the other day? I thought these people were so against DEI because they care that much about having the right person for the job?

Everything out of their mouth is either a straight-up lie or earnestly deranged.

I'm surprised it's not Elizabeth Holmes

Too qualified

I would be stunned if it WASN'T someone wildly unqualified. The only thing that matters is if you can sufficiently lick a boot.

i feel like there's a point to selecting specifically anti-qualified people though, sorta like how scammers will send messages that are obviously nonsense in order to only get replies from gullible people.

I want to lead NASA! I've seen a ton of rocket and space ship movies!

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I've seen all those plus I've played a lot of kerbal space program.

Can you be my second officer and focus on Alien life forms?

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Second? How much KSP have your played?

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Galaga, that's where the best space travel knowledge comes from.

Ooh, I’m sorry but in this administration that probably means you’re over qualified.
