To be fair, its possible that the poster was merely meaning that the template is “Hire the available ex-regulators of the party currently in power”, but was communicating that by applying the template to the current situation, where we are in the first year of an Administration, so the available supply of regulators meeting that description will generally be from the last Administration of the same party.
When Jamie Dimon discussed the warm relationship between Obama officials and tech in a public speech at Stanford, I assumed it was (1) common knowledge and (2) socially acceptable to discuss in public.
I think the current administration has made excellent personnel choices in the regulatory agencies. I am hopeful for the future.
But I don't think I "called out" anyone. I understand that expression to mean "seeking to direct reflexive mob anger toward a specific individual". It's the practice that's troubling, not the people.
I actually believe that most of the people engaged in this practice (revolving door) have impeccable moral character.
Unfortunately many people call out Obama specifically as a way to take a partisan political jab at the left especially on forums. Trump’s White House was full of crooks who really were there based 100% on who they knew since many were otherwise unqualified. It makes going back a president feel like cherry picking an example but I see you could have done it as Biden would draw from Obama’s sphere more.
I am not aware of the specific Dimon speech you mentioned. Ajit Pai had a close relationship with the ISPs and Telecommunications companies with all their attacks on net neutrality etc. so I do find that the argument that Democrats are so much cozier with tech to be a bit oversimplified.
I agree with your comment overall, just shedding some insights on my thinking
