You heard it here first folks. When engineers say what the radius of a highway curve should be, that’s communism. Public health rules for safe drinking water? Communism.

When the NHTSA works with manufacturers to decide what pressure tire bead-breaking tests need to be performed at, so that consumers don’t have to worry about whether different brands of tires are safe, that’s communism.

There's nuance to be had: that experts should act in concert with the policymakers who are accountable to the voting public. I can grok that and understand the border to the horizon of my own expertise (certain aspects of airspace safety). I wouldn't want to 'rule'. But yeah this is not that.

They hate higher ed, advanced degrees, & experts so much. They continue to try delegitimize knowledge unless it fits within their narrow, christo-fascist belief system. They're so anti-critical thinking too. They want the dumbing-down of the America so they can control facts vs. fiction.

Engineering degrees are elitism. If anyone can decide which vaccines are good and which - bad without a medical degree, why not let the Free Market decide where and how we build roads? In fact do we need roads? The hardcore engineers at Tesla have built a truck that hardly needs any roads at all.
