While I know Thomas was only picked cause they demonstrated loyalty to Trumpy.
The whole framing around their age and past jobs makes me feel icky. People are defined by the first jobs. We’re all complaining about how this world is being run by drooling old people.
The framing really implies that young people should never been put into positions of power and we should really highlight people’s first jobs.
Really, the framing should be “Is Thomas bringing in experts? Are they learning about everything? Are they addressing the short comings of knowledge?”
If the answer is yes, it shouldn’t matter at all about their age or past experience.
Alas, the most likely situation is that Thomas suffers from “Idiot Confidence” and will muck things up. The whole purpose of Thomas is to find ways to crack down on leftists, non-white communities, and the LGBT community.
I expect someone in a position of this power and responsibility to bring a certain amount of experience. At least the experience to know when to stop and ask the experts. I don't believe someone who has never ever worked even close to such a job to be qualified to do this.
This has nothing to do with his selection of jobs, but with what he had not done in the past. It does not matter if he was a bricklayer, car salesman, or primary school teacher. It does matter that he never worked in law enforcement, defence, intelligence, or similar.
Nobody should care if he used to be a landscaper. It's not relevant. His age is absolutely relevant though. He's far too young to have the wisdom and experience to handle this job properly. How is he going to know which experts to bring in and who to listen to? He's grossly unqualified.
Landscaper absolutely is relevant if it makes up the majority of his resume.
If you spent 5 years working and 3 of that was a landscaper, it is relevant to your current position.
If you spent 30 years working and 3 of that was landscaper, much less relevant.
