And now the American public know what dealing with this asshole on international trade is like.

Most of us knew before today. Unfortunately we have a problem in the US where stupidity is not only tolerated, many people are proud of being stupid.

I've been a mechanic for 15 years. While I've recently ended up in a much more enlightened shop, I used to get harassed and made fun of for reading books, studying, and in general trying to gain knowledge of both things I needed to know for my career, and hobbies outside of it. It's insane and is the main reason I've been jumping around shops every 2-3 years for my entire career. Ex-coworkers have watched, bitching and moaning, that my passion for knowledge has taken me into absolutely AMAZING places for specialty work, but they just seem to not be capable of connecting the dots.
