I wonder because the experts are wrong, over and over and over. How the hell do we get these fools?

I suppose they have all the sheepskins on the wall from the 'top' universities, Ivey League schools or whatever, but these schools let in morons all the time for racial balance or being supported by alumni or legacy slots, etc. So having one of these sheepskins, even a POhud, doesnt really mean much. They took some course in schools that wouldnt dare cross the kids parents. My God, Chrissy 'Fredo' Cuomo graduated from one of these schools, damn.

But lets look at the track record working backward.

1) The economy would not recover till next year, if it ever does. No, it is already roaring back, quite predictably for anyone who understands economics.

2) COVID19 would kill up to 2,000,000 Americans this year. Nowhere near that is actually happening. We will probably see maybe up to 150k deaths, even with idiots classifying everything as a COVID death if they had the virus and got run over by a tractor trailer.

3) It will take years to develop a treatment for COVID19, middle of next year at the earliset. Nope, we have a treatment coming out already.

4) Trump is going to be removed from office for abuse of office. lol

5) The Mueller Report will show us Trumps collusion with Russia. Remember all those SNL skits with Trump running scared from Mueller? roflmao

6) Trumps tariff hikes will cause run away inflation. Nope, didnt happen.

7) Georgia loosening COVID lockdown will cause massive spike in cases. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

8) The wall along our border with Mexico will not be built. hahahahah

9) Trump will not reduce immigration along our Southern Border. cant stop laughing

10) Trump cannot bring back manufacturing jobs. Many if not most are back.

11) Hillary Clinton had a 98% chance of winning election. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ! ! ! ! !

12) We will see more hurricanes of greater strength due to Global Warming.

Where do all these loser morons come from?

Why does anyone have a shred of confidence in them?

We have no real experts any more it seems, only leftwing ass kissing frauds that other leftwing ass kissing frauds use so they can promote their leftwing ass kissing ideological loser bullshit..
 
"Experts" rank below random tosses at a dart board. Hell, lately they couldn't beat a broken clock.
And yet stupid journalists go to them all the time, like Al Sharpton, that guy is an ex-FBI informant, and no one has elected him to speak for the black community, and yet he has a multimillion dollar job doing exactly that.

Generally it is education and experience. Reality its how well you sell yourself as one.

They have scalpels and they practice medicine on us like they're cleaning so many fish at the dock.
 
You're an 'expert' when social media takes up a cause and you happen to:

A. Agree with that cause.
B. Have more than passing experience in the subject matter, preferably with some letters after your name to prove it.

That's pretty much it from what I can tell lately.

Don't forget legacies, ie. Affirmative Action for the ruling class. Just because their daddy is rich and went to the school, doesn't make them anymore qualified. I was an A-/B+ student , but I couldn't get into an Ivy. However, one well known C student did. If we're really a country of equal opportunity, then AA for the rich is no better than AA for the poor.

Well, first you need to do some politicking with chairs of departments of fields related to your own. If you intend to publish before old age you'd better be certain your novel paper on the reproductive habits of lunar moth larvae doesn't tread too heavily on the toes of similar work of tenured peers. After your professional papers are out there in the real world committee heads of your respective academic discipline's national publisher and officially recognized organization will expect you to grovel and tow the agreed upon narrative of the day. Do that for a few years. From there you can go private sector and profit or into government service to the academic bureaucracy from hell and maybe end up on CNN as a guest pundit (I mean expert) if your politics are right and your state of victimhood suits.

So you dont really need to know how to do a gawd damned thing.

Thanks for explaining all that.
