Okay, you got me. That was a good troll.

>majority of the job
says who? NYT?

It definitely doesn't hurt for the person to have more insight, but these jobs are management jobs first and foremost.

Ah yes, I'm sure his degree in animal husbandry will help him in that role <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Imagine being so deluded as to actually trying to defend this.

Are you going to tell me that the cybersecurity advisor is okay as well? The one that cannot open his own phone.

Advisors should know their stuff.
Management people should likewise.

The energy secretary's main job is not to oversee nuclear weapons, this is the job literally of the military, with their nuclear people. Furthermore this is a job for politics, and not a job that requires extensive technical expertise, let alone in nuclear matters, given that it's about broad energy policies and not about specific nuclear information

Glad we agree that these two people shouldn't be in their positions then.

And management is about managing other people, that is what matters most.

it's kind of silly to assert otherwise, it's not even his job to oversea the nuclear weapons, it will be some staff member's job who is a nuclear scientist

For the same reason underneath Trump are his generals, underneath anyone in political office are the technical experts

That's just how it works

Yeah, and energy secretary's "stuff" is management

not nuclear physics

> Rick Perry currently serves as the 14th United States Secretary of Energy. He leads an agency tasked with maintaining a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent and reducing the threat of nuclear proliferation, overseeing the United States’ energy supply, carrying out the environmental clean-up from the Cold War nuclear mission, and managing the 17 National Laboratories, home to the country’s best scientists and engineers.

Exactly

Hm, the government website says otherwise lads.

Sorry.

I have no idea, whether the guy actually knows something about management, but that's what matters.

I'm going to believe the GOV website and not you two. Sorry.

It's not the key element of the job lol

The agency is, not the secretary, you cretin

> and leads an agency tasked with overseeing the United States’ energy supply, nuclear defense capacity

Can you not read?

the secretary is responsible for managing it

Yeah, I can

>the _agency_ tasked with

not "the _secretary_"

A man with a degree in animal husbandry is tasked with overseeing Americas nuclear arsenal. <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

He has a bachelors in science as well, so he has a science degree, specializing in animal science, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know about physics too. To get a degree in almost any field, say neurosurgery for example, you need a basic medical degree as a precursor, and to get a degree in animal science, you'd need biology and physics first

An excellent Trump pick if I do say so myself.

Are you illiterate? It literally says it's the agency's job, not the top guys job

He runs the agency you spastic.

You act as if you have a degree in animal science you are stupid or something. He had to get all the precursor science degrees to get that degree

Another excellent pick, along with the cyber security advisor.

Seriously, he had to take all the other classes
