Because running a massive company that employs hundreds of thousands of people is more of a record than pouring drinks for people.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1090625411950805002 …

Hm. You can think that being a billionaire is extremely impressive, but still agree with
@AOC that it's poor training for a politician. (Ditto for being a General, scientist, athlete, or medical doctor)
True, but... why don't people ever tell billionaires to get some political experience before running for president? This was one of the biggest recurring media themes of 2016. I learned more synonyms for "unqualified" in six months than I could feasibly use in a lifetime

There's a fine line between 'getting some political experience' and 'being co-opted into a profoundly corrupt, soul-crushing corporate-legal-regulatory-gov't-media hegemony'

I’m not sure that I like the idea of having people in power that can navigate those spaces so well. It implies slickness and fakery, but little else. There’s something real and admirable about someone who is a little clumsy, or says the quiet things out loud.
