Fretting over Fett
This challenge with the competency of John Fetterman in Pennsylvania highlights what's flawed in American authorities (“Battle to talk and perceive,” Oct. 12).
Medical or psychological deficiencies are unhappy and tragic in on a regular basis life, however in a scenario the place you're concerned in choices that may impact the complete nation, and typically the world, sympathy can don't have any bearing.
Governing requires the brightest and strongest people we are able to discover — not simply anybody who runs for no matter motive. As present occasions present, after we elect people based mostly on emotions and emotion and their psychological and bodily competence comes into query, we invite chaos.
Time period limits, age restrictions and transparency concerning bodily and psychological acuity ought to be bedrock necessities when coping with political candidates. People deserve no much less.

Ed.’s bleak future
In his article, Chien Kwok writes about mother and father’ efforts to enhance insurance policies at New York Metropolis’s public faculties (“Cease Ignoring What Dad and mom Need,” PostOpinion, Oct. 10).
He makes two large errors: First, he compares the varsity system to a non-public firm. This comparability is totally off. The corporate might exit of enterprise, however the college system by no means will.
Not like a non-public agency that depends upon its clients to outlive, not solely will the varsity system by no means run out of cash, it is going to preserve getting extra regardless of dropping clients. We hear nearly each day concerning the rampant nepotism, new senior hires and outrageous pay.
New York Metropolis faculties obtain the best per-student funding within the nation, however little of this filters right down to classroom stage. Most is eaten up by the corrupt paperwork.
Secondly, Chien has hopes for Colleges Chancellor David Banks. Large mistake. Banks is a political hack appointed by Mayor Adams, a product of the native political machine and a person beholden to the lecturers unions and different parasites.
The fish rots from the top. Nothing will change till a brand new Rudy Giuliani arises.

Joe’s gas folly
I ponder whose facet the present administration is on. The proposals to chop arms gross sales to the Saudis together with pulling out troops advantages Iran (“Slicking it to Joe,” Oct. 12).
The saying “the enemy of my enemy is my buddy” holds true right here. If the administration really desires to make up the two-million-barrel-per-day oil deficit, it could simply take away all of the restrictions Biden positioned on fossil fuels and convey again the requirements that made us No. 1 underneath former President Donald Trump.
Sadly, the one consideration appears to be the midterms and pleasing the far-left “greens.” I, for one, will bear in mind this once I pay $5 per gallon for oil to warmth my dwelling, and hopefully others will bear in mind this once they go to the polls.

Lefties leaving NY
The Put up article asserting that wealthy, younger professionals are leaving blue states for purple states is nothing to have a good time (“NYC’s mind drain,” Oct. 13).
They flee the states that they helped make unlivable and convey their far-left, green-nonsense liberal ideology with them, ruining the lives of the natives that made the purple states fascinating within the first place.
Austin, Texas has turn out to be the Portland of the south. It’s a woke, liberal haven for the Beto O’Rourkes of the world. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bragged that the libs would flip Texas blue. It simply could also be working.
