      That's a big task, preventing the US or one of their many proxies from doing terrorist attacks

              That hairstyle! Though to be fair, I also did some stupid shit thinking it was cool when I was 22.

                  The lack of experience is worthy of criticism; but the "Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant" is presented as not worthy of respect. Which is bullshit.

                  It has the same air as some trumpanzee dipshit trying to insult AOC by calling her a 'bartender', as though having been a bartender makes her unqualified for her current position, which is similarly bullshit.

                  Gardeners, store assistants, and bartenders all contribute to our society and shouldn't be looked down on for their role; nor should that role be held against them when they decide to move on to something else.

                  ...I guess my point is that gardening and entry-level-grocery are completely fine and expected experience for a 22 year old; but that no 22 year old could have the experience to do well as a leader in terror prevention. So, there's a distinction between criticizing the absence of experience (justified), vs criticizing someone for having actual experience in an unrelated field (bullshit).

                  If this story was this:

                  Ex Gardner and grocery store assistant tapped to become retail manager at H&M, no one, yourself included, would bat an eye.

                  The only reason it even sticks out is because everyone inherently knows those things are not relevant at all to the position.

                  Any negative spin on those things you are ascribing yourself.

                  The combination of being 22 with only those jobs as relevant experience is bad. Very bad.

                  Those jobs in and of themselves are fine. We are all capable of nuance. I don't hate gardeners or grocery store workers, they're all generally great.

                            these aren't secretaries and ministers of organized government

                            it's capos and yes men of organized crime.

                              More concerned with the 22 then what he was doing at 17. I'm not against younger blood in leadership roles but you got to have done the job at least somewhat. If the guy was 35 or so and had been at it for a decade, that'd be a different beast. This feels like a nepo hire

                                      Also will probably be a strawman, and fired or jailed when Trump fucks up, blaming others as always.
