What we actually want is people that build a career AND THEN go into politics. On a federal, state, and city level, we don't get many people that proved themselves by building a successful career. We get the numbnuts that can ONLY make a career out of (bad) public service. And honestly, who do you see being top dog at a company for 10 years? It's pretty rare. In the business world, talent moves in, talent moves on, younger talent with fresh ideas take over. In politics, people make a name for themselves and ride that to the grave.

I’d vastly prefer someone who built a career in politics, specifically by winning local smaller elections and moving up versus someone who built a career in the private sector. If anything, someone who’s been working in the private sector longer will prob do a far worse job imo

Name some...that aren't contributing to the status quo. Like our mayor who I actually liked at one point until he started blatantly disrespecting people who dare to question him. Been in city politics his ENTIRE life and he's more worried about maintaining those relationships than holding people accountable. It doesn't matter what any city agency does, he always gives his "trust and support" even when there's obvious wrongdoing.
