'Why do so many incompetent men become leaders?'

[DGUtley]

Those who fail in business often end up in Government jobs. When I worked at the Board of Equalization for three years, there were about 80+ employees, and there were a lot of flunkees in top positions; alcoholics, ex-cops, and miscreants galore! They loved the power of busting business owners on tax matters, and would make them cry and go into rages. They called that "compliance". Comply or die! And would shut down a lot of businesses.

what, pray tell, is a board of “equalization”?

It sounds like a scheme designed to punish the successful and redistribute their earnings to the unsuccessful. You know, make things equal.

Wrong! It collected sales and use taxes mostly. They would actually send agents out o flea markets to bust people selling crap!

Them and the Franchise Tax Board are greatly feared in Cal!

Flea markets? Seriously?

Ask Joe and Hunter Biden that question.

There is something fundamentally wrong if we have a government agency at any level going after flea markets. What's next ? Yard and garage sales?

Those ugly Californians came thousands of miles to audit me and collect income taxes from me and my business partner because I go to see our customers there. Then they came again to collect sales tax even though the purchasers of our products self-pay them. We then had to have all our customers go back years and prove they paid them before we could send the woman packing.

I ve thousand of miles away and they are still chasing me. I cannot imagine living there.

This is fascinating. Examples are mainstream today. Media and social media not only show the incompetence, but they both show the reasons. The contorted apologetics, the excuses for incompetent acts abound. Tribalism has a part here too.

Only Highly Paid Professional Training Would Give a Genuine and Productive Credential


It is because College Education Is a Fraud and Should Not Be Rewarded. Making that the ticket to success has had the same disastrous results that having a Communist Party membership card had in the defunct Soviet Union.

Or maybe she's trying to show Huma some intricate dyke positions from her Seven Sisters college days.
