I always said that politics should be left to politicians. Nobody is fooled that by thinly-veiled "philantropic efforts" what is really meant is "using Facebook's huge platform to further some political agenda"

If we are happy having engineers deal in politics, we should never be surprised when politicians deal in engineering.

Politics should be left to politicians is what has us in the boat we are in. Engineers, teachers, poets, plumbers, horse trainers, Walmart greeters, and everyone else should be involved in politics.

Provided always that they remember that politics is not engineering, classroom teaching, etc.

To quote Thomas Mann, "everything is politics".
