THE MORNING RANT: Can We Please Start Looking for Business & Political Leaders from Outside the Faux-Elite Bubble?
Elon Musk has chosen his new CEO at Twitter, and it looks like the era of free speech may have already run its course there.
His appointee, Linda Yaccarino, has previously worked for NBC and the World Economic Forum, and is an outspoken advocate for all the green-woke shibboleths. In a moment I’ll expand on the idea that it is imperative to break the cycle of selecting business and political leaders from the same faux-elite circles that have produced our current crop of awful leaders, but first let’s take a look at Ms. Yaccarino’s beliefs. She believes that a huge majority of people (she uses the term “consumers,” but every single person is a consumer) crave the globalist green agenda, including the racially balkanizing idea of DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.)
People with this belief system are the ones who applauded Bud Light for abandoning its traditional customer base to pursue the transgender demographic. Musk states that he is passionate about free speech, even if Yaccarino isn’t, so no worries.
Like all passionate leftists, we can expect Ms. Yaccarino to be comfortable with “free speech,” so long as it is not “offensive” speech, or “misinformation,” or any of the other buzzwords that corporate media censors have adopted.
I’ve never seen a single person with her belief system and resume who has any tolerance for free speech from those who disagree with those in that bubble. Maybe she’s a unicorn and will actually tolerate free speech, but why seek out a person from that bubble? Doing so is like seeking out a mate who is not woke, while only dating those who shop at Whole Foods and listen to NPR. There is a world outside the faux-elite bubble, and it is well past time that we look elsewhere for business leaders, politicians, and judges. In addition to rejecting those from the media and Davos circles, it’s also time to start disregarding an Ivy League degree as a credential. (Or maybe we should start considering an Ivy League degree to be disqualifying.) When AB InBev (Anheuser Busch) hired Alissa Heinerscheid as Bud Light’s Vice President of Marketing, they hired a person not yet 40 years old, with degrees from two different Ivy League schools (Wharton and Harvard.) With only that information, it would be safe to assume that she was not a drinker of Bud Light, and that she was contemptuous of the brand’s core customers. Unsurprisingly, she openly acknowledged her contempt for Bud Light’s customers in an interview before hiring Dylan Mulvaney to become a face of the product. Why would InBev hire such a person? For the same reason Musk hired Yaccarino. Corporate America is seemingly not aware of any other talent pool, no matter how awful that “credentialed” talent pool is. This applies to politics too. Eight of our nine Supreme Court justices have law degrees from either Harvard or Yale. How about having a Supreme Court justice with a law degree from Regents University, or maybe some double-directional state law school? Even the Trump-DeSantis battle is an Ivy League matchup. Trump went to Wharton, and DeSantis went to Yale and Harvard. Of course, I’ll vote for whichever one of these guys gets the nomination, but can’t we please start finding leadership which hasn’t been immersed in Ivy League culture? Now that I think about it, I do favor diversity. I want a country where our leadership is diverse and comes from the world of average Americans, where Ivy League degrees are rare, and where people rise in organizations based on their talent, not based on their connections or their exclusive degrees.

Much to my surprise, it works great. Keeps the carpets nice and clean.
It's not not brilliant as its sweeping patterns are pretty idiosyncratic and often inefficient but it gets the job done.
This was one of the lower priced ones. If it actually holds up for the next several years, it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Clearly buying Twitter and overpaying to the tune of 44 billion dollars was not an Op on Musk's part, he seems genuinely intent on Twitter being a free speech platform.
But there are external realities that have to be contended with, as long as this chick stays in her lane, all should be well.
It will become apparent rather quickly if she is either a neutral or hostile actor in the current Panopticon Psychopathy/Clown World we are living in.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the old days, an Ivy League degree credential could help a young man get in a door, but once he landed a job, he was expected to deliver real world results. The proof was in the pudding.
Nowadays, A). It doesn't matter how often these supposed "elites" fail, as they are always simply ASSUMED to be competent by virtue of their supposed credentials; B). under corporatism, most divisions within a company aren't supposed to be profitable anyway . . . especially if losses in some of the divisions allow the rent-seeking divisions to hugely profit; and C). A lot of "elites" now work in fields where no one has any idea of what success would look like, anyway.

That's all gone now - the people in the American ruling class are now overwhelmingly drawn from a handful of schools. Worse, the admission departments of these schools are obviously imposing political litmus tests, and the whole school experience is geared to generating uniformity of thought.
That is what leads to things like the Bud Light fiasco - members of the elite care far more about the opinions of other members of the elite than they do about objective success. As long as you have elite support, you'll always be able to find another high-level job, no matter how badly you screw up.

Agreed here as well. When you look at modern society, there's no way you separate leadership from pedigree in a large scale. If you're going to run the UK, you're going to Oxbridge. If you're running France, you're going to Sciences Po, etc. You'll see outsiders come in time and again - oftentimes successfully - but you'll either need to make a boatload of money on your own, or come from one of the Ivies to have a shot at running the USA.

In large part, this is probably true. Another part of it on the Twitter side is that it was probably a fairly difficult CEO hunt. Who is going to want that job? If you agree with the owner and run it according to his mandates, you become a pariah. If you don't, you'll be fired. The only play for people in those kinds of circles is to take the job, say you'll do what you're told, work against the boss and hope to be sly enough to survive doing it. A lot of people aren't going to want that job.
Unless, of course, the owner is lying about what he wants, or has been turned by the authorities into backing down because they threatened his other major businesses.

2. Must was - or is now, following a change of some kind - lying about free speech and is willing to revert to Twitter 1.0 (or even desires it)
We will see. My bet is on door #2, and I strongly suspect it has to do with government risk. He has other major businesses and both of them have dependencies on the government - a government that, as we all know, is firmly opposed to free speech.

I’ve taken part in mass arrest situations.
The first thing I’d do, after an arrest, is pull that mask off. It’s for identification and safety purposes. I need to see whom I’m arresting and I can’t risk their airways being obstructed.
Also, if they weren’t identified yet, I wouldn’t have them so close to each other. Too much liability, including the possibility of a prisoner escaping.
None of this makes sense.
Also, if I’m arresting all of them and I don’t want them to run, they’d be sitting on their ass with their legs out in front of them, crossed.
The gloves would also be off. No way I could properly adjust a zip tie with their gloves on.
So much I could pick apart, which is ground ball stuff I learned in the academy.

Nor was appointing an alternative slate of electors some cockamamie plan devised by Trump lawyers. On the contrary, Trump’s election lawyers and the contingent electors followed the precise approach Democrats successfully used when the date Congress established for certifying an election came before the legal challenges John F. Kennedy had brought in Hawaii were decided. And that approach allowed Kennedy to be certified the winner of Hawaii’s three electoral votes on Jan. 6, 1961, even though the Aloha State had originally certified Richard Nixon the victor.

"Elon Musk has chosen his new CEO at Twitter, and it looks like the era of free speech may have already run its course there."
I doubt there even was an era of free speech there. People on the fringes who did not advocate violence or even use incendiary language--all from the "Right"--have continued to be purged and banned from the time of Musk's acquisition to the present. He has brought on groups such as ADL, SPLC, American Progress and other leftwing organizations that are hostile to free speech as advisors. To my knowledge post-Musk Twitter never developed any objective criteria for what was allowed there. And on and on.
If you have any beliefs that deviate from leftwing orthodoxy, the best advice is to avoid social media altogether. Look at the obviously Deep State-directed "far Right" march through D.C. this weekend and ask yourself if the same totalitarian government that would stage such an event would hesitate to use even an anodyne social media posting as a pretext to destroy.

This is the important question of our time, and the answer to it is a dangerous one.
Institutional leadership at all levels is BAD. These people are manifestly unqualified to lead so much as a one-car funeral.
It seems a simple thing... "Look outside the elite bubble," as you put it.
But how did that bubble form? Why are these malevolent 'tards the "elite?" How did they secure these positions, and maintain them?
If the answer was simpler than dislodging them by upending the entire existing order, it would have happened organically by now. By long ago.

Do you read Reddit? It's fucking eye opening. Even in non-political related subs, it's almost all left wing stuff. For example, take a sub about something innocuous like photography. Someone posts a photo of a lake or something. Inevitably there will be a comment about how this lake will no longer be there for future generations because evil oil companies and Republicans are destroying the environment. And that gets 300 upvotes.
This way of thinking is embedded in young people. It's not even "political" to think this way for them. It just is. Like the sun coming up in the east, climate change is going to kill us all. There's no debate.

A ruling class is very susceptible to policy disasters--essentially they depend on their reacharound buddies from the GOP to keep things going. What we are seeing though is that with a moribund Washington DC class, the states are taking the domestic policy lead and for the most part, their leaders are not Ivy League sorts.
That is why who is governor and who controls your state legislature is far more important day to day than who is president.

Wait, this is confusing.
The spokesfeminist waxes on about about the "founding mothers" of brewing who are owed "homage" - but fails to acknowledge that brewing would have been food production and preparation and therefore "women's work" and that to pay "homage" to those "founding mothers" of brewing would require the perpetuation of the patriarchy...

Not really, immigrants behave in their self interest--that follows from lower caste Indians having very different interests than upper caste Indians. Upper caste Indians are interested in becoming part of the ruling class so they reflect that. In India, they would be huge supporters of the nationalist cause because that is where the prestige jobs and money are. Lower caste come here often because life in India sucks and has sucked for centuries because your life opportunities were affected by your birth.
Lesson is that do not expect other cultures to share your same values--those cultures affect what is valued and what is not and thus affect the self interest identification.

The point is that the people being selected now have demonstrated excellence in nothing. Given the choice, yes, I'd rather have someone who had spent a lifetime steeped in the law, and who understood why preserving the original intent was their job.

With that comment, I think you hit on something funny. If they wanted to tick the DEI tickbox *and* sell to their existing customer base, they could have just had a couple of cute lesbians feature in some commercials.
It's not exactly something that drives young heterosexual men (their main target segment) away... but this, of course, would rely on having management that actually understood its target market and didn't think they could make just as much money by alienating all but less than 1% of the population, which in general doesn't drink mass-market beer.

Yep. And prior to Reagan, most of the justices had at least some political background and other life experiences than being a law monk.
Essentially, Ivy League plus Stanford (CA homer there) became the std. for Republicans under the well qualified rubric. As a result, they differ little in social life from their Democrat peers. Breyer was the most recent exception to the rule as he had a long history working for Senator Ted Kennedy in the legislative branch. Justice Souter was also an exception to the rule coming from NH state courts.
But, former senators, even a former president or a losing presidential candidate used to serve as SC justices.

Meh, Scotus was always based on political criteria and never was really about legal excellence. The great John Marshall himself had a scanty legal education but was in the right place at the right time and was a convivial sort of guy that even coopted Jefferson's and Madison's appointees to the court.
The fact is that we only see the legal technocrat ideal begin to occur during the era of Reagan and that was a reaction to how the court became politicized during the Warren and subsequent Burger court. The GOP to win confirmation and block filibusters by Dems went to unquestioned legal credentials of Ivy league law schools, existing credentialed appeals court jurists, and diversity appointments. The Dems had been moving that way on their appointments since Clinton.
