“… and only huddling with his senior staff once a week.”
Any more than that and he might get a clue as to what goes on at the agency he purportedly leads.
His holey schedule reflects his seeming lack of urgency to achieve his HUD goals
“Goals”
Heh
That’s a good one.
They could save a lot of money and prevent a lot of stupid decisions by replacing him with a dressing store dummy and I doubt anyone would notice.
I think the goal for HUD these days is to have no goals. You’re poor? Tough. Don’t have a job? Find one. Doesn’t pay the rent? Work two. Can’t afford health insurance? Then die and decrease the surplus population of people like yourself who vote wrong.
Seriously I wish I had a dollar for every guy who sat at the country club bar and told some buddy he worked hard all his life for what he’s got, so why in the hell should he pay for a doctor for someone who’s going to vote to take all that away. I know they say that.
This dude has some kind of early onset health issue that caused him to have to quit being a surgeon very early. Any Dr. that’s good keeps being a Dr. way past normal retirement age. And not for the money, but because they help people. This guy quit way before retirement age because something is wrong with him or his abilities.
He does appear to be the perfect HUD secretary for this President, for whom “Urban Development” only means
“Big Gaudy Condo (or hotel) tower, from which he can extract a lot of $$$” Since there is already the Trump International hotel in DC, I imagine he doesn’t really think Urban Development exists. Thus = no job expectations for Carson, and one more sycophant to praise Trump at each cabinet meeting.
Thinking back to Benzo’s fancy dining room table embarrassment, he clearly planned on spending a lot of time sitting at it. Carson’s a unique character, in that the floor would be a waste if he were expected to sit on the floor.
Carson’s sparse schedule pales in comparison to Obama’s HUD director, Julian Castro, who didn’t do nearly enough to unite the nation.
Interesting in checking the definition of “hews” used in the first paragraph, saw the Google of the day honoring someone named Seiichi Miyake so had to see who he was. And only now release the semicircular bumps in the sidewalk near intersections are so blind folks know they are at an intersection and it not for wet sidewalk traction issue like I always assumed.
Miyake obiously owes the estate of Ole Kirk Christiansen some money.
Yeah Legos was my first thought seeing that gif! And I was like why is a blind person walking on legos?
I wish I had your optimistic view.
I suppose, like Fat Ass, Stabby McCarson cannot withstand the rigors of having to work 45 minutes a day.
Nursing at the public teat. Another no-show job.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
The welfare administration.
It will take decades to recover from yet another miserable Republican candidate who was illegitimately elected to the Presidency thanks to their Billionaires and Corporations and THE RUSSIANS!
The US Democracy is becoming a failed state…enough to convince the rest of the world to look again and to consider Communism. We will only have ourselves to blame if other nations like Russia, Hungary, Italy, Greece, and others move to communist rule. The US makes Democracy a laughing stock.
The war to end slavery gave birth to the first fascist organization, the KKK. Ben Carson serves that concept well in his capacity as a Trump supporter. Secretary Carson finds himself in the center of an administration that intends to once and for all neutralize un-white people. Good luck with that, Ben.

Still, whoever is making the decisions is doing plenty of damage.
Yep…Uncle Ben is being used to show…“Look, we put a black guy in an important position.” And at the same time, he can be pointed to as a poor worker/leader and ineffectual with a nod and a wink.
