Her degrees proved she belongs with the elite, not that she actually knows anything. And since she is elite, anything she says is knowledgeable and smart because our elite are part of a meritocracy, which is another of her theories.<br /><br />I guess self-contradiction is a class thing too.<br /><br />Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-60386920207347275702015-02-17T12:38:11.300-06:002015-02-17T12:38:11.300-06:00McArdle was a lazy student because her degrees wer...McArdle was a lazy student because her degrees were pre-purchased by her parents.<br /><br />She's a lazy employee because Bloomberg doesn't give a shit about accuracy.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803231988989969133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-10378655469068864112015-02-15T05:03:52.636-06:002015-02-15T05:03:52.636-06:00I suppose that 'events decades past' do n...I suppose that 'events decades past' do not matter for a Koch fed candidate. <br /><br />Of course they matter for Hillary Clinton (or Bill Clinton: see Whitewater).<br /><br />And I suppose they all believe in Milton Friedman and his economic theories <b>totally</b> because they don't think his PhD has any value.

The boiling down of education so that it's only purpose and value is getting you a better job or to perform better in your cubicle farm. <br /><br />Screw that.
