@George-K said in Experts: If you take population growth into consideration, the number of doctorates in 2020 is still three times what it was in 1958. I agree that a lot of current PhD's areas of studies are kind of goofy, but I also think that one reason the number has gone up is that there are a lot more foreign graduate students now studying at US universities as compare to (for example) 1958.

Looks like one of those scientific displays you see in old laboratories. LOL

The document lists “misinformation” as a potential election crime, describing it as “false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally.” Well, then, every politician is a suspect.

And for a woeful P.S. from ESPN: "After starting the season 2-0 in beating the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints on the road, the Bucs had a 98% chance of making the playoffs and a 93% chance of winning the division, according to FPI. After losing to the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, their Week 5 win over the Atlanta Falcons gave them a 97% chance of making the playoffs and a 94% chance of winning the division. But after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers on the road, they’re now at a 67% chance of making the playoffs with a 61% chance of winning the division." GO BUCS.

I realise that the op-ed is satire, but it also belies an inferiority complex that, in my opinion, is unwarranted. The National Post is not a bad paper - it is not a tabloid. It is a small c conservative newspaper that is, for the most part, factually accurate in its reporting. It’s counterpart in the UK would be The Daily Telegraph. On an equal footing with Globe and Mail, The National Post is indisputably a nationally recognised and credible English language news source. Like the Globe and Mail it serves a demographic that is more often than not, university educated with professional credentials and/or in management positions corporately and in public service. One might even say it is popular among the nation’s Anglophone elite.

Biden was never anything but a placeholder. Both parties should be out scouring the streets for acceptable candidates. Not saying exciting, not even saying above average; just people -- men -- who are marginally competent, who we the people can freaking live with. For a change.

@George-K said in No shows...: The horror! LOL Maybe it is like the President Nixon/President Kennedy debate I read about. People who listened on the radio were pretty sure President Nixon won. Those who watched on TV picked President Kennedy for the win. Maybe a case of "style over substance"? LOL
