It seems that you have to be insane to be an elite expert.

When purposeless people have time, they start creating problems where none exist and “solutions” where none are needed.
_____________________

Exactly on target!
This is the biggest problem of our society.
Our biggest “problems” are the invented ones!
Somebody, who arrives here from a poor country is just laughing on the “sufferings” of Americans.

And, as liberals try to solve these “problems”, we, the taxpayers, are forever stuck with their “solutions”.

Trump is the first presidents, trying to undo all that, but, well, he has a lot to do!!!

IMHO Cyrus McCormick’s mechanical farming invention wasn’t as great as the writer makes it out to be. Before him were many others with creative ways to farm smarter not harder. Even with simple things like planting cranberry bushes in bogs so that during harvest time you can beat them off of the bush, fill the bog with water, and drag the floating berries from the top of the water. A process that I hear dates back to the Pilgrims. So McComick’s invention deserves a huge attaboy, but doesn’t IMHO deserve to rank him as the man most responsible for moving us away from an agricultural society.

IMHO what’s most responsible for that is the Modern Warm Period that the left tells us to hate. During the warm periods crop yields are higher, rain patterns are more predictable, and deaths by plague are lower.

I’ve watched this actually happen at a job I had once. Middle management wanted to promote two clowns. So a problem (imaginary) was created with a piece of equipment that was vital to the organization. They pretended to tirelessly work on the imaginary problem, found a solution and got it to work again. They got their promotion.

This happens all over society. The democrats love the concept. They need problems to promise voters they will fix. So they create them, get elected and only make the problems worse. That’s how blue cities are created. People are too dumb to realize it.
