    Mark is right. What did people expect, though, when they voted for an arrogant incompetent orange ignoramus whose ego demands constant stroking and who refuses to let experts educate him about *anything*? It’s not as though these traits weren’t always obvious.🙄https://twitter.com/MarkHoofnagle/status/1238228419072217088 …

    The worst part of all of this is it’s just so stupid. Every reactive response is even more stupid. We knew what we needed for these crises, but the machinery was dismantled, our response has been slow, we still aren’t testing and tracing, govt is focused on one man’s ego, not us.

        I think the Dunning-Kruger effect should be rebranded to the Trump-effect...

        I hate to say it but it’s a great example of Taleb’s point (not a fan of him generally). We are not “black swan robust”. And while individual events such as this are uncommon, and low probability, in aggregate, they’re common! This is a crisis born from layers of carelessness.

        I mean, he was voted in on these traits. A sufficient amount of people decided the way things were wasn't doing it for them, so they wanted someone giving the finger to the status quo. That's why the incompetence doesn't matter, he's SUPPOSED to break everything.

        A month ago I was about 75% sure he was going to be reelected. Now, with the stock market crashing, businesses losing billions, and things looking more and more like a bad recession is coming, I’m not so sure, given that his botched response will obviously make thinks much worse.

        This goes deeper than just Trump. 40 years of know nothingism, lead by wingnuts, got us here.

        Their expectations were bounded by their cognitive incapability.

        Some of protested this guy, back in the 80's when he was gentrifying Manhattan! The corporate media did not cover any of that!
