Welp I guess we all have our personal narratives in place.

According to you, this woman was selected over unknown, more qualified candidates to handle a critical piece of financial infrastructure in order to meet a vague diversity mandate.

According to me, she was picked because she was cheap, and the CEO was a goddamned fool.

Executive officers at 13 billion dollar corporations are never picked because they are "cheap". She was not cheap. She was picked most likely because she has a vagina and they wanted their board to look more diverse. Many companies for many years put computer security at the end of the line. They put CFOs and CEOs at front of the line. They would look for the most qualified candidates with respect to the actual finances and operation of the company, which was usually men, and then they'd fill the other spots with women and minorities so as not get nailed for being "too white male". Problem was, computer security for something like Equifax is probably more important than even the financial side due to the inherent risk of their core business data being exposed. The risk was very high and they never accounted for that -- probably because they were business majors and don't understand actual mathematics.

You voted for someone who wants to do worse than waterboarding, and you're taking issue with someone who said they were Indian? Shit man, get your priorities straight.

What are the qualifications for president, in your opinion?

Nobody is waterboarding any longer as far as I know, so I don't know what you are upset about.
Because you're no longer required to know. Chicago PD does it when they have the whim.

Ideally - someone well versed in geopolitics and economics.
Reality - someone that gets attention with their face noises.

These are the people republicans are voting for.

And you're taking issue with Warren for saying she was Indian, and not taking issue with Trump for what he said? Your opinions are diversity hires. Someone can say something as bat shit crazy as that and you still give him the benefit of the doubt compared to what, a woman who said she was indian and sticks up for consumers as part of her MO?

Oh how terrible Warren is!

My position:

The candidate most likely to nudge us closer to a constitutional convention and an end to federalism.

See how that works?

I don't personally like Trump at all. If we were electing people by who I like most, I'd vote for Dwayne Johnson in a heartbeat. But if he doesn't seem like he will help blow up federalism once and for all, I wouldn't vote for him. I'd vote for the clown instead.

As far as qualifications at politics.. It's almost as if you'd select a lawyer to represent you who is most qualified at maximizing billing and dragging out legal cases for profit.

I have no idea.

What I am saying is this: they had an entire planet of of human beings, which undoubtedly included computer security experts that would have taken that job, and yet they hired a woman who has a PhD in music composition. She literally had no qualifications for any of the computer security jobs she held. The onus is upon you to explain how a music major gets a job as an executive officer in a multi-billion dollar corporation in charge of computer security. Parsimony dictates it's likely affirmative action/diversity concerns.
