I am in awe of how quickly our distaste for lobbyists and money in politics has faded now that a woman is not running for president.
People keep saying Trump's cabinet and team is "business leaders and political outsiders" when it's hard to imagine people more "inside" than lobbyists.
> I take this as a sign that politics are out, and simple business administration is in.
Distraction accomplished.
> Of course real cynics will yell too much power is being given to business people.
Real cynics will point to the evident factional politics in the substantive appointments and that the thing you are giving so much weight to is a powerless advisory body.
The thing is, the government is not a business. Even if the motives of the Exon CEO were pure, why should I think he'd make a good diplomat. I wouldn't want an astronaut performing surgery.
