"The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence". In other words, an employee is promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another."
There are lots of folks in the "DC establishment" that are excellent examples of the Peter Principle at work. Nancy Pelosi, Gerald Nadler and Diane Feinstein are three that come to mind. Note all of these are elderly and none of them, IMHO, are at the top of their game.
Another example is AOC who should still be tending bar.

You’re assuming she was a competent bar tender.
