What Happens When We Appoint the Worst Possible People to the Most Powerful Positions on Earth? We’ll Find Out Soon
With each successive cabinet nomination, it becomes increasingly clear how much damage the incoming administration is going to inflict on government departments on which 330 million people depend to add various forms of value to their lives–justice, environmental safety, health, financial stability, education, etc. Albeit a disaster for our nation, and for the rest of humankind as well, I’ve often tried to poke fun at all this, because, if you discount the tragedy, it really is so absurd that it’s funny as the devil.
