Interesting concept. My current feeling is that such a phenomena would require non-smart people to vote for smart people. I’m not sure that’s a winning formula.
After Warsh is confirmed and the criminal investigation against Powell restarted, Tillis will be the only one surprised that, yes, there is indeed gambling in Casablanca.
Unbeknownst to most people, logging companies and the US Forest Service have been spraying massive amounts of herbicide in clear-cut and fire-ravaged forests of California—and throughout the nation. And not just any herbicide, but glyphosate, a potent and problematic weed killer best known by the brand name Roundup.
This once-idyllic landscape, spanning tens of thousands of acres, is among California’s most heavily sprayed forest areas. The Pacific Crest Trail—a hiking route immortalized in the Hollywood movie Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon—runs straight through it. Yet thanks to all the chemicals, it remains a moonscape even now, nearly five years after the Dixie Fire.
And yet smart people, being smarter, ought to be able to manage such a trick, no? Though I’ll grant you, if smart people try to appear dumb to attract the dumb, it leaks through. Truly a conundrum.
