I wonder if you are joking when saying strangely.
Most definitely. Probably should have added a /s tag.
Mostly trying to highlight the inexplicable disparity, at least inexplicable in terms of national talent pool, that we seem to be seeing in national leadership these days.
On the whole (and I’ve said this before) as much as I do cut our politicians and health care system a bit of slack in situations like this, there are limits.
