  1. Our expert class has sold itself to foreign business interests.. Globalism has seen to that.. Why be accountable to a few when its possible to transcend that and be accountable to nobody.. I’m saving the world.. Although you vote me in, I don’t answer to you..

    Me and my portfolio have a higher calling.. They talk about their democracy in some sort of danger.. When it was them who knifed it in the back.. They are self aware.. I will give them that..

        1. Grandpa continued….

          If your babe can make pudding from scratch…

          You love that sweet girl everyday until you die…

          Mmm…

  2. Out “expert class” consists of bloated bureaucrats who benefit from crises.

    Look no further than the travel mandates of this country.

  3. In Canada politicians don’t even bother consulting with actual experts. Epoch times has a really good article today about the ongoing court case challenging the Canadian travel mandates including one for truckers that is still in place. The government officials who put in the travel mandate have admitted under cross examination that they decided to bring in the policy for political reasons. Their meetings were only about how to get away with it. There were no medical people, ethicists, or lawyers involved. Not one of them even had so much as an undergraduate degree in biology. They did not consult any ethicists or any medical people. Ethics didn’t even come up. All they cared about was could they get away with violating charter rights legally. They also admitted under questioning that the travel mandate was a violation of WHO recommendations and even Canada’s own “Public health ethics framework: A guide for use in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.” They never asked Tam and her little merry band of lying hypocrites over at Public Health either. And they didn’t consult with, and the travel ban was not supported by, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). All they did was decide the travel mandate would help The Turdo get reelected and then they concentrated only on getting it in place. https://www.theepochtimes.com/ethics-of-mandatory-covid-vaccination-in-travel-not-considered-testifies-canadian-official-behind-policy_4638843.html?utm_source=MB_article_paid&utm_campaign=mb-2022-08-04-ca&utm_medium=email&est=SOe7o51WhK9hCgTuPDcpBME%2FCXxYyOwfkVocLLH72MUkXWa2CeyVf0J9Rx77rG5oUA%3D%3D&utm_term=news2&utm_content=2

  4. I stopped listening to “the experts” when I won my hockey pool using my intuition instead of buying those magazines or watching them on the 800 sports channels that never seem to show sports now.

      1. There was talk a few years ago about making ballroom dancing an Olympic sport. I have no idea whether that was serious but the idea of making it into an athletic event finally put me off for good.

        1. The original ancient Greek Olympics were designed to train men for war – hence all the running, throwing and shooting of things. The modern Olympics are for wusses and armchair atheletes.
          Just my humble opinion.

        2. Honestly, though I love the sport, it was bringing in pro golf that did it for me. Finally, I mean: my interest had been on the decline for some time prior, but that was just an awful idea, and it exposed how badly corrupt everything was. All about the Benjamins, baby.

  5. Academics are not “experts”…..they are academics. Especially those in the social “sciences”. In many cases they are nothing more than lunatic activists. Nothing more.

  6. The problem isn’t the expert class, it’s that we don’t have one. The yobs (relative term here) have been slowly taking over the institutions since post-WWI. The expert class (or elite) stands against purely political creatures. They are a good thing. They’ve been purged (it’s been a while now; we’ve been surviving on the capital from the days of real elites). Which is why we find ourselves where we are. Read Ortega Y Gasset.

  7. The state is inherently evil as it is the sole source of legalized coercion and therefore needs to be reduced to bare minimum size and scope to prevent abuse and capture. Trump was prevented from much of his agenda more by his renegade administrative agencies than by Congress. Such power is beyond reasonable control and can just as easily be captured by your enemies as your friends. Today the institutional left has captured virtually all agencies, media, academia, culture, entertainment, and bureaucracies including the woke corporations and big tech. Such a coming together under control of the state is how Mussolini defined fascism. Ayn Rand warned of these “ominous parallels” a half century ago. Leviathan cannot be “managed” within a free society. It has to be severely shrunken or dismantled.

  8. And there is no better example of the malignant “elite” class of high-degreed, award-winning IDIOTS than Paul Krugman …

  9. Educated beyond ones intelligence..
    Which presumes one had any in the first place.
    We do not have “Experts” in the former sense of the word.
    Recall the fellow from Alberta on Utube telling us all of his attempts to reach Jason Kenny and friends?
    Former Civil Defence,Disaster response head?
    A man with real expertise and a life time of working on the sharp end..

    Instead we have “Credentialed Nitwits” who repeat talking points instead of even understanding,let alone answering any questions from the citizenry.
    Many of us may have noticed the phenomena ,Government Help,turns every real problem into a full blown crisis,were nothing actually gets done..
    Remember High River’s Floods?
    Have you observed air search and rescue recently?
    Every crisis has the same solution,increase the size of government and steal even more tax money..
    We now live in perpetual crisis..
    Yet we see no emergency..
    Dread Covid Theatre is a classic.
    Government Help ,to avert a potential(Computer modelled) health crisis,created a major and long lasting health care crisis,economic crisis and confidence crisis..
    Doing massively more harm than if they had done nothing at all.

    I had a head nurse assure me that “Without the vaccines Covid would have been “So much worse””,yet no explanation as to how this could be known.

    Expert today means the likes of Dr Tam,Justine Trudeau and any CBC mouthpiece of your choosing..

    I have watched this develop with great amusement for years,First Aid was the first place it became really obvious..
    The loud mouths and fools with a modicom of prepackaged training,began to take over and would rush to cause ever more chaos and pain whenever an injury occurred..
    As the stupid came to dominate the training field,they then dumbed down the training,because they assume everyone is as dumb as they are..
    Until we now have to regard the “First Aider as a potential enemy..
    Forward..
    Back in the day,you would run across people who would say “I know a wee bit about that” and find out they had 40 years of experience..
    Now we have “I am Expert” with no actual practical experience at all..
    Apparently Simm World is all the training a Modern Major General needs.

    We will suffer the insults and cost of Government Expertise until we can afford to tolerate it no longer..
    I sense that day is fast upon us..
    $9 Trillion in DEBT that we know of..
    And given the constant lies from all involved,”That we know of” is not just a cute mofifier.
