That degree may be the reason these people have a job in the first place.
Because yeah, degrees get you jobs. If you take two candidates with roughly similar profiles, employers will take the one with the degree, 90% of the time.

The rest is just bias. You worked your ass off for 5 years, you are now in debt and you see that one guy who barged in without any qualification. It is easy to feel bad about it. What you don't realize is that the guy is an exception. He may be particularly gifted, have a good network, or maybe lucky enough to be there at the right time. He may not need a degree, but you do.

You also may not see the value in what you learned. But that's after you meet someone with absolutely no formal education in the field. They are usually missing something, they tend to do things they don't really understand. Most of the time, it is fine, but sometimes, it is a mess. Again, there are geniuses who not know everything there is to know, just by looking, but again, exceptions.

Fuck that!

Basically 2016, you got 2 choices. The Shit Sandwich or the Diarrhea Plate.

Trump's policies on Immigration control, bringing jobs back, Law and Order, reduction of government interference, etc were nearer to my policy concerns than the crap spewing from Clinton's gob.

They were BOTH assholes.

Should I have voted otherwise simply because YOUR biases want you to tell ME that Trump was the bigger asshole?

Yes, all too often the "silencers" fail to understand that trying to silence your opposition only gave them bigger voices and wound up backfiring. This is something people constantly fail to understand about people. Why actual democracy does not work, why socialism never works, and why making humans suffer through tyrannical government only makes a nation weaker instead of stronger. Because the more you try to control people... regardless of the mechanism they tend to rebel against it and the more your tighten your grip the more that slips through your grasp. And while it is true that people then to put up with tyranny and government corruption for long periods of time... the bill inevitably comes due. And all the people that fed that beast or did not fight against it, they get eviscerated all the same as those fighting against it.

One of the coolest aspects of the Space Shuttle Caf is that it is a DC 3 airplane licensed to drive on the street. The Space Shuttle Cafe is a mobile commercial food kitchen that was built from a DC-3 airplane fuselage that was built in 1944 and flew during the last year of World War II. It is painted black and white in the Space Shuttle theme.

The fuselage on wheels was moved in 2001 after it had sat in a field for about 10 years. Over four-and-a-half-years, the owners completely stripped it down to the frame. put in a new motor and built the completely self-contained commercial kitchen.

The Space Shuttle Cafe is used for serving food at car shows, airshows, and local community events around southern California. The Space Shuttle Cafe also does private catering and school events. After being in the food service business for about 20 years and operating the Space Shuttle Cafe for about the last seven years, the owners have decided to slow down and semi-retire. The Space Shuttle Caf is for sale for $150,000.

Lightyear One Debuts As the First Long-Range Solar-Powered Electric Car (techcrunch.com) 125

The new Lightyear One is a prototype electric car from a Netherlands startup that gets all it needs to run from the sun. It features a sleek, driver-friendly design and also boasts a range of 450 miles on a single charge. TechCrunch reports: The startup says that it has already sold "over a hundred vehicles" even though this isn't yet ready to hit the road, but Lightyear is aiming to begin production by 2021, with reservations available for 500 additional units for the initial release. You do have to pay around $136,000 USD to secure a reservation, however.

Lightyear One isn't just a plug-in electric with some solar sells on the roof: Instead it's designed from the ground up to maximize performance from a smaller-than-typical battery that can directly grab sun from a roof and hood covered with 16 square feet of solar cells, embedded in safety glass designed with passenger wellbeing in mind. The car can also take power directly from regular outlets and existing charging stations for a quick top-up, and again because it's optimized to be lightweight and power efficient, you can actually get around 250 miles on just one night of charging from a standard (European) 230V outlet.
