Straight talk about Jared Kushner

The short version:  just about everything he's put in charge of, he sucks rocks trying to do it.  And he doesn't really care.

The longer version:

I worked for Jared Kushner. Of course he says his covid-19 failure is a success.

"On some level, Trump and Kushner appear to believe that whether they are really doing their jobs is irrelevant. But they have no reason to believe otherwise; they’ve never faced any consequences for not doing what they’re supposed to do except bad press. (Or, in Trump’s case, an impeachment that quickly led to a pro forma acquittal.) As of today, Kushner’s string of failures have not resulted in any kind of demotion or reprimand, much less dismissal. (Whatever happened to the Office of American Innovation? What has it done? Who’s demanded results?) They act like they think they should get credit for any effort at all, for stooping to bother."

That's a pretty serious burn on Jared. But even if his shoes were actually emitting flames, he'd apparently think that was someone else's problem. Because he could always buy another pair of shoes.
