No need to be rude. Here, since I'm so simple minded and dumb I'll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You're saying she's an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics.. or maybe showmanship?, it doesn't make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more. What I'm saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who's job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.

It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.

Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.

However, the "salesmanship" kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.

So you're saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?

Like a weak handshake. The softest Nazi ever.

Just because she isn't a straight engineer or scientist, doesn't make her expertise less worth it I don't think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.

Yeah I just gave you a potential source for the meme but I guess if you really want to ride on his dick, he'sonly had 5 billion dollars in subsidies. And if you really want to be technical, that was as of 2015 before inflation. My apologies for stepping on your toes.

What can you do if your boss that the president puts in charge fires you?
