Who? A consistent theme you hear if you do any political organizing/working with volunteers on advocacy, actually having contact with people in power is demystifying. People assume elected officials and their staff are smart/knowledgeable and impressive, but often they are not.
Personally, I think this also applies to business executives. Definitely applies to lawyers, even some very highly compensated ones.
