running a business is a pretty narrow sliver of the overall economy. Sure, to be a good business person, you would ideally want to have an understanding of the economy, but its' been shown on numerous occasions that's not actually the case.

Businesses are also frequently fairly autocratic, whereas our government is supposed to be democratic. So how running an autocratic organization somehow makes you super qualified to step in and effectively operate in a democratic system is pure buffoonery. But this is where we are.
