He understands the business.

He doesn't understand technical details, which is something very different.

He tells people "go find the ideal route". He doesn't find the ideal route himself.

If a CEO of a large company attempted to learn all skills of every single one of his employees, he would spend a couple centuries learning, instead of doing his job.

His job being: Telling the right people to find the ideal route.

And he himself clearly isn't one of these people. And he doesn't need to be.

(You wouldn't expect Tim Cook to know every legal detail of all the countries he trades to either. Because that's not his job. His job is to hire lawyers who know every legal detail of all the countries he trades to.)

I mean yeah, he's asking stupid questions to the internet.

He doesn't ask his engineers, who've got better things to do than to answer his questions.

He likely thought "Oh, that route planning looks odd. Since I'm sure the engineers know what they're doing, this must be the ideal path, but I certainly am curious as to why that is. Hey X, why don't the planes fly in straight lines?"

It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask for someone who's job isn't engineering, but hiring people who hire people who's job is engineering.

It really isn't their job to know how it works. Their job is to manage other people who know how it works.

If left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn't the Democrats win? The voters didn't get Bernie, so if you can't get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they'd still vote Democrat in that case.

But the Democrats didn't win. The voters don't want damage reduction. The voters want damage.

If the vast majority of Americans believed the Democrats to be less evil, the Democrats would have 90% of the vote. If that were the case, the Republicans would move ever further left, perhaps even overtaking the Democrats, until they get a chance at winning again.

The reason the parties are right wing is because the voters are right wing.

That's why we need a communist revolution where everyone will be a happy little comrade

The reason that people don't vote Democrats is the same reason that people won't join your revolution.

If you found enough people to support a revolution, that'd mean you have enough people to change the system by simple voting.

Abortion is almost always the moral choice.

Are you implying context for this statement or do you really believe that creating new life is (almost always) immoral?

The vast majority of humans do find love.
