He was (famously) a fairly high-ranking McKinsey consultant

Lmao this was his first job after he graduated from Oxford, when he was 25. "Fairly high-ranking" my ass.

He got a cabinet position because he was a popular candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020 and he's smart as a whip with a tongue to match. There are few people who are more competent the role, and whatever nefarious thing you think is happening is based entirely on your feelings.

Also the US DOT doesn't have the authority to issue health warnings, so your anger there is misplaced.
