Let’s Play Dream Team
A Pirate Party Memorandum
On the theory that democracy is best served by participation, I’m drumming up interest in a game of Dream Team on my Facebook timeline.
Lets focus on 2nd tier cabinet level positions for a change, if only as an exercise in reminding ourselves of the USG’s sprawling responsibilities.
As an ice breaker, I suggested Neil deGrasse Tyson for Secretary of Education, tipping my hand that I meant for the Harris team, as the Trump team has already signaled a plan to eliminate that whole department. Or has that plan been disavowed? Policies keep changing down to the wire, I realize.
Then I turn to the real meat and potatoes: the Secretary of Transportation. Given a continental-sized nation such as this one, infrastructure is the muscle and bone of our economy, meaning trains, planes and automobiles. Shipping. That’s not about to change.
So does Harris plan to keep “Mayor Pete”? By all accounts he’s quite the brainiac but is he ever given a chance to really show off? He’s at the vital center of the whole economy after all.
