we presume that she knows how to mix drinks. what qualifies a barmaid to be an authority on science-related matters?
answer: nothing
what's happened in this country with STEM--science, technology, engineering, mathematics?
The Decline of American Science and Engineering - American Affairs Journal
it's reached the point where a barmaid, with a degree in international relations, is the self-proclaimed authority on matters of science.
good grief, charlie brown.
who do you trust in matters that involve science, technology, engineering and mathematics?
- a barmaid with a degree in international relations?
- or someone who has some education and training in matters of science, technology, engineering and mathematics
- politicians?
- the republican and democratic parties that are financed by billionaire corporations and billionaire PACs that supply us with the candidates for public office?

- biased news media?
to fix our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for republican and democratic party candidates, including incumbents.
voting for a republican or a democrat is a vote for their party.
public domain
in the next election--national, state or local--don't vote for politicians who have no expertise in the issues facing this country. don't vote for a republican or a democrat. the republican and democratic parties aren't wellsprings of scientific knowledge. vote for someone who knows what they're talking about and knows how to solve scientific problems. even with their billion dollar donors, if voters don't vote for republicans and democrats, then the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die.
nothing will be better for our country than ridding it of politicians who don't have the expertise to solve our nation's problems.
the same goes for the news media--stop patronizing biased news media that lobby for the republican and democratic parties instead of reporting the news factually and truthfully. they'll go out of business. nothing will be better for the USA.
