As a curmudgeon, I'm pretty pissed off about this. As an engineer, even more so.
Our nation, in its infinite lack of wisdom, cherishes useless sport "stars", politicians, actors and such over the engineers that make and keep everything working. Without whose hard work, your life would be hell.
Everything. Roads, buildings, power systems, plumbing systems, water systems, must I go on?
And whose name gets put on a bridge or road? Some idiot politician. I live near NYC, which appears to have an unnatural affinity for the Kennedys - despite them being Massachusetts based. At least Florida had the good sense to return to Cape Canaveral.
It is time to recognize the hard-working smart people who make things actually work - not the glitzy technocrats so much in current favor - the real geniuses keeping our comfy lives going.
Not glamorous, but you would die within days without them.
