oh no those are all good points what do I say... I know! "hur dur trigger the righttards"
Pathetic.
She has a vanity degree. A Bachelor of Arts means its focus is the humanities rather than technical. Its purely for posturing and saying "I have a degree". Diploma Mills (aka pay-for-prestige clubs) churn them out by the millions.
The better question is why a person with a Degree in International Relations and Economics was working a dead-end low-pay no-skill bartender job, immediately prior to winning the ultimate vanity prize of a no-contest electoral position. Really casts some doubt on the value of that degree, eh?
As for her "competence" thats a matter of debate, but only as to the degree of her incompetence. Economists arent lining up to hear her thoughts on economics. Her only fans are partisans on Twitter, a demographic that would be an insult to any honestly competent person.
... Seth Abramson
If youâ(TM)re aiming for zero credibility, quoting Seth Abramson is a great way to get there fast.
Aaron was first and foremost an advocate for free information. He would be rolling in his grave if he could see how his creations have been subverted by closed-minded fascists. Reddit even removed him as co-founder from their About page, just like Stalin once airbrushed Trotsky out of existence. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful behaviour from a once decent website.
Sadly the number of people who care about free software and free information is diminishing rapidly. Either bullied to death as was the case with poor Aaron or simply deplatformed as is happening with other tech luminaries. Where is the future of free software, or any software for that matter, when all thats left are walled gardens and corporations?
Sweden is to the left of the USA and chose to have no lockdown. Sweden was even derided by President Trump who at the time was parroting the common wisdom that a lockdown made more sense. Sweden ignored the common sense. They are now doing a lot better than countries that did engage in a protracted lockdown.
What does this prove? It proves that you shouldnt cherry-pick your examples to prove any political point. Different countries have different ways of dealing with the pandemic and what works for one country might not work for another country. But regardless of any of that you cant turn this into a left vs right issue. Stop politicising a pandemic you massive flog.
