Devos:

Carson heading HUD:
Just two days ago admitted publicly he would be unqualified for any cabinet position because he has no govt experience
He's black though :mjpls:

Personally, I'll be alright.

But its the rest of y'all who thought "they're all the same" that deserve to suffer.

I've washed my hands of the next 4 years, so thats on you all.

@SJUGrad13 Tell these fools our manifesto.
You deserve to suffer for being a spineless political chump, and you will coward

This is horrible. In NYC we went through the same thing with Cathleen black. She had no education experience, no teaching experience ,nothing. She was an absolute disaster.

An Ben Carson who even admitted he doesn't have any experience, is about to run public housing, homeless shelters, and gentrification taxes for the whole country.

Just read up on Black. Looks like she was a Bloomberg puppet who couldn't handle her emotions. Devos family has their own money and will stand up to teacher unions. It's going to be interesting, but I'm optimistic there will be some positive changes.

Ben Carson is just a placeholder. He will do whatever Trump and the rest of his real estate industry tied partners tell him to do.

Really wish the HUD person actually had some housing/urban planning experience. I called the Castro appointment out on it (and the Foxx one for Transportation as well) and will call a Carson appointment out on it too if he's the guy.

I'm for more school choice, but don't know enough about Devos to form an opinion.

He grew up poor with a single mother and is now a brain surgeon with a black wife. I feel like other than people hating him for supporting Trump his character is pretty good even tho he has no experience , could be worse.

I bring up his personal life because he has no experience with this , so the way he grew up and personal life makes him seem like he will try to do the right thing even if he has to learn on the job.

The Amway people have their own charter school network I'll assume that's her pet project.


:camby:

Ben Carson, name speaks for itself.

:aicmon:


Guess we won't be #MAGA after all. Like I was saying on the podcast last night if Trump actually wanted to tackle this stuff he could find technocrats. Trump is putting forward political hacks and people he can control.
