We have learned the hard way that the scientists who produce mathematical models predicting disaster are not to be granted the presumption of infallibility. Nor are their demands that we impoverish ourselves in order to avert a disaster a matter of "settled science." The coronavirus doom that the Cassandras of prestigious scientific organs predicted is nowhere to be found, and it turns out that models are based on assumptions and can be spectacularly wrong.
Americans have sacrificed trillions of dollars and turned our lives upside-down based on predictions of millions of deaths if we didn't follow radically change our way of life, based on the pandemic predictions of modelers in the U.K. and USA.

It’s why boring looking lesbians with short hair T shirts and jeans aren’t nearly a celebrated as the drag queens

Sadly everything Cassandra in THE ILLIAD predicted came to to pass. Her curse was that no one would ever believe her prophecies.
She lost her gift of prophecy only after she was raped by the Greeks.
BEAT me to it by “that much!”
The day Ira Einhorn claimed he started. Ask them about him and you will get...”Ira? Ira who? Never heard of him!”
