And to think, Betsy De Vos was lambasted for promoting Charter Schools.
Sec. DeVos was lambasted for having zero experience with public education.
Well that's much worse....
Yeah, it is.
A person with mental illness running the health dept worse than an inexperienced education secretary.
Only in quash's world.
Having a Department of Perversion Prevention, only in Mothra's government.
Well, his name is Legion so he has company.
Nah, we don't need that, but we do need to let them have govt. funds to spread their propaganda, right? That's the "libertarian" position on perversion, according to quash.
You're hilarious.
When you're posting about Libertarian issues "hilarious" is apropos.
Hilarious is you claiming to be libertarian.
Libertarians could do with less Cabinet level power blocs.
But as long as we have them Libertarians would not use a mental illness as a bigoted litmus test to prevent one of the fifty million Americans with a mental illness to serve.
And there lies a great example of why a libertarian will seldom if ever get elected to a position that matters. The inability to see what things can impact job performance vs things that don't (or maybe it's the choice not to see) make all the good things about libertarianism null and void.
There are
50 million adult Americans with mental illness. Perhaps you would force Gov. Abbott out of his job because he's physically disabled?
No? Because it doesn't affect his ability to perform his job.
If this nominee cannot perform the job because of her mental illness then make that case. So far all I'm hearing is that anyone with mental illness is automatically disqualified.
Instead of discussing the merits of the nominee we get memes and blanket job denial based on a health condition that affects people we all know and love who, somehow, manage to hold down their own jobs in all kinds of positions.
Edit: and yes, Libertarians believe in giving people the freedom to do their job, and in giving employers the right to decide who they hire. We also believe businesses can refuse to serve certain people. If a business hangs a sign that says "Mentally ill not welcome here" then you can shop there all you want. But I'm not going anywhere my loved ones can't go.
