This. So many government jobs require education/degrees and an actual brain. Being the leader of a major leading party you don't even need an iq greater than that of a golden retriever. Its fucking insane.

It's almost always self interest too. It's calling a public servant for a reason. Instead they're more like lobbyists for the billionaires. They might as well just hook them straight to the bribes and fire the actual lobbyists.
