Word.

If you hire someone who is passionately dedicated to proving that the job cannot be done, that person will fail. On purpose.

Would you hire a babysitter who went around arguing that children should be starved to the point where they can be easily drowned in the bathtub? A chef who believes that anyone "too lazy" to make their own food should be fed feces? In the "red states", evidently, they would. And call the results a heckuva job.
