“This whole thing is a sorry representation of modern life. Why do we no longer have people with common sense and dignity?”
Last night on Tucker Carlson, he had Duff McDonald who has written a book about the shamefully lacking of these traits in the Harvard MBAs that have been turned out for the last half-century.

I used to work for a company that had a penchant for hiring Harvard MBAs (we called them HUMBAS). They were as vicious and devoid of a modicum of both common sense and dignity as any group of human beings on the planet. BTW, that company, which was multibillion dollar in it’s heyday, is gone today thanks in no small measure to the HUMBAS they hired.
I believe it. The CIA hires heavily from the Ivy leagues, and look how well they have been doing their job for the last 60 years.
The Ivies have been cranking out pretentious incompetents for quite some time. They are often "too smart by half", Robert McNamara being an example. (MBA Harvard.)
