Populated by the best and the brightest

It is more fun criticizing

A solemn Good Friday everyone.

Why are we in in state of suffering despite having the best and brightest among the members of the cabinet?

Do not blame them;  blame the top guy.  They may be bright but they may be dominated and intimidated by the leadership style of the top guy.   Since there is always a power struggle, only those who are in the inner circle of the President get the nod, or if they are Yes men.  Hence we are delayed;  we have not explored other option.  The thousand flowers from the brightest do not bloom.

They say that societies who have younger people in dominant position prosper more than the ones led by elder people.  (Hence the mandatory age retirement requirement;  when I was no longer given a teaching assignment in a teaching position I quietly acceded although I know that mind is still sharp and I am full of ideas)

What about censorship from social media?  This post's post have been deleted in social media if the contents are contrary to their "standards"  Well it is easy to argue with the platform on what is the norm of the community.  But the community sees only one point of view, one option.  And in the battle vs covid we may have missed out many if the standard is what WHO says.
