This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m an aerospace engineer and I know MAGA aerospace engineers and if Trump were to say something along the lines of “we’re gonna cut the cost of designing an aircraft by loosening the safety requirements”, they would be able to articulate exactly why we shouldn’t do that. Their inability to translate that into things like deadly virus precautions is another matter but when they know he’s wrong, they know.
It’s just that so so so few of them could even pass a GED…
Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.
Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.
He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).
He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately
Wow, that would be like those aero maga people saying they knew how to engineer the products we make so they must also know how to pilot an airplane lol.
That is not what those words in that order mean. Most MAGA people are too dumb to pass a GED, but that doesn’t mean 100% of them are. I’m 100% sure the MAGA aero guys would fail the history section of the GED, but in all honesty they are good aerospace engineers as far as I can tell. I just wouldn’t have them over for dinner if you know what I mean.

I learned there’s an actual phenomenon called, Gell-Mann Amnesia, that speaks to this phenomenon.

Good bot. The best. Phenomenal. Everybody’s saying it. Good people. Smart people.
Funny to hear the guy who helped discover the quark was one of those people who thinks an advanced degree meant they knew everything.

That sounds like you’re saying the MAGA aerospace engineers couldn’t get a GED…
