Peter said that people are evaluated based on performance in a current job rather than for their abilities that would be relevant to the intended role. As a result people keep getting promoted until they reach the level of their incompetence. Then the promotions stop and they are no longer evaluated on performance but on such things as being on time or being a pleasant co-worker. They are rarely fired for incompetence so they stay there doing the job incompetently until they retire or die. Which pick that PET has made so far is competent to do the intended job in your opinion? Why? less

Not the big fish. They do what they wish and getting out of paying taxes is among what they do best.

I wonder what Ike thinks of POTUS-elect, what he stands for and what he says he will do to the US?

The only person fit for that job is a man who needs a waiver from Congress to be allowed to take the job. That is very hard to believe. Only one person in the whole entire spectrum of persons? That one? Isn't that scary if true?

General Matthis retired May 2013. A waiver was signed before for General George Marshall. Many decades ago.

I remember Frank Sinatra was often a butt of Rickles' barbs and he apparently loved the guy. You'd see Sinatra laughing his head off in the audience along with other celebrities while he was being slammed by Rickles. Why? Do some folks enjoy being made to look foolish? I think being able to laugh at yourself is a very good thing. But being attacked and insulted by someone to entertain others and enjoying being the target? That I don't get. Do you? less
Populism? What a crock. Not a populist anywhere. Just sameoldsameoldsameold whatnots. Another scam. Another con. Makes folks love PET even more. Why that is I cannot guess.

Die quietly out of sight so PET and his pals don't get embarrassed? We need guidelines for how we are expected to behave. When you're scared to death it's hard to think clearly. Having a set of instructions is helpful. I know. PET will be "looking into that". Right?

If he/she/they weren't around everything would be sunshiny and ever so pretty. Is that true for you?
