Hope he doesn't start building pyramids.

That's a... curious appointment.
I'm not sure how to feel about Carson in general, but wasn't he a rather crooked doctor?

So my mom has an old college friend who worked with Ben Carson when he was still doing neurosurgery and boy does my moms friend have respect for him. She says that the moment he Stepped onto the floor everything go quiet and he used to respectfully demand respect of those who was working for him. He knew what he was doing and what he needed to do to get it done but never did it in an arrogant or stuck up way like most doctors are.
This guy separated a set of new born twins who were conjoined at the head and they lived. He knows what he's doing not just in medicine but also in management.

Umm...wouldn't he be a much better surgeon general?

Ben Carson grew up in an urban area. He has many years experience.

so who is going to be surgeon general then? this is confusing. Did he promise that job to somebody else and this is like a consolation prize or something?

What in the name of fuck does a former surgeon know about urban planning?
[–] USA42 0 points 19 points 19 points (+19|-0) ago
He had some opinions on architecture in the middle east.

You're referring to Carson's contention that the pyramids built to be grain silos? Right, he'll be great for HUD/s.

Urban planning is not something you learn by playing Sim City or Cities Skyline. It requires an higher education.
[–] Broc_Lia ago
I'm not saying he should only promote bureaucrats and professional polticians, I'm saying he should promote someone with at least some knowledge of the job. Carson might be a decent pick for health (because it's actually his field) but for urban planning I'd be thinking civil engineers, economists, developers etc.

Its probably some kind of political favor.

Carson is among the few that hasn't spit on donald 24/7 during his entire campaign.
