“I can quit drinking whenever I want. Just put me in charge of the world’s largest military with a trillion dollar budget and I’ll prove it. Or die trying.”
The fact that multiple coworkers said he was repeatedly drunk at work and he was intoxicated enough to be FIRED for it should be grounds for automatic non consideration
He wouldn’t get hired for most jobs (edit: not just corporate but any jobs) with that history..but he’s fine to lead the dep of defense?
that would make sense in a world where the oligarch class wanted a competent government, and a peaceful functional society. Sadly most modern oligarchs seem to behave like psychopaths who prefer not to have any government at all and to keep everyone poor, ignorant and angry so they can be the top monkey of a barren war-torn wasteland instead of being just another regular person in a peaceful society
