"In a sense, the Ohio accident is just one more injury directly attributable to our overpaid, over-fed public health expert class." I disagree with this. The nation's railways are in even worse shape than the roads. I live near heavily used train tracks. They are in horrible shape. Years ago, a train derailment caused chlorine to be released just a couple of miles from me. The whole neighborhood was evacuated, but most people were at school or work. The chlorine was cleaned up within 8 to 10 hours. Did the railroad company (I think it is CSX) fix the tracks? NO!!!! They only fixed one short stretch. People complained about rush-hour traffic being stopped because of freight trains, so now, trains loaded with toxic chemicals go through the neighborhood all night long, on tracks that look as though no maintenance has been done on them for 20 years. I mentioned to the township supervisor (in writing) that any future derailments could cause a catastrophe when almost everyone is home, sound asleep. I got no response. You see, my PhD in public health and my husband's PhD in toxicology are meaningless. We aren't the preferred "experts."

Good points.
And yes, being an “expert” is not enough, you have to be a “preferred expert” ready to spout whatever narrative you’ve been given.
Preferred Expert is spot on. That says it all. You have to be PREFERRED by the slime balls in charge.
experts....pfffy pleeeeease, get out of here with your expertise.
you wanna be an expert - get hired at CNN :/
