I don't even need to read the article to know this is going to be a long winded piece of popular bullshit.
Just look at the title, manages to demean and belittle an entire industry that is entirely required for a functioning economy and society.
Y'all wonder why blue collar America thinks we're stuck up entitled pricks? Maybe it's because we are.
- creato 6y agoThis article basically boils down to "scientists suck, the government sucks, truck drivers have everything figured out". Pretty much the opposite of what you are suggesting. There's a layer of humility which obfuscates this a little.
- wiz21c 6y agoyep I thought like that too. I don't know truck drivers, but the way the title is put, it seems to oppose the "genius" of a nuclear bomb to, well, a mere truck driver. I'm not entirely sure the people behind the bomb were smarter than a truck driver. The human qualities needed to decide to work on a bomb or not, which to me is infinitely stronger than what it takes to be a physicist or mathematician, can be found as well in a truck driver...
