Maybe it happened or maybe not. But there is a current version of this type of behavior.
Sean Duffy is the Secretary of Transportation but rather than trying to make Transportation safer or better, he has elected to go on vacation and film a reality TV show with his family.
An article about this starts this way:
Over the past seven months, there have been 3 commercial airline crashes resulting in 11 deaths, along with numerous near-misses and deadly small plane crashes. Rather than addressing the ongoing deterioration of America’s transportation infrastructure, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has been on vacation and filming a reality TV show with his family, all seemingly paid for by the very companies he should be regulating.
“Despite sustained shortages of air traffic controllers, Congressional Republicans leading a historic defunding of the TSA that ground the nation’s airports to a halt, and numerous commercial airline crashes, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has decided to abandon his Senate-confirmed role in favor of attempting to relive his glory days of being a reality TV star” said Revolving Door Project Executive Director Jeff Hauser.
Is this any way to run our government?
