Yet Another Example
of when experts great intentions lead to unintended consequences. In this case im sure there were and currenly are experts advocating for the subsidization of ethanol. Im sure they argued it would have no adverse impact on the enconomy. Turns out experts are about as good as everyone else at predicting the future.

If you drank beer, you’d know that Yeungling doesn’t care about barley. They are corn-based….. Always have been.
Besides, experts are always wrong. The world would be better off being run by bloggers with little to know real world education.

I of course meant “no” rather than “know.” I’m simply a “no” nothing beer drinker.

I wasn’t aware that expert economists were favoring ethanol subsideies. That seem like the type of thing that economists would ussually say is a bad idea.

LOL. Who said anything about economists. At any rate its quite likely these programs can about during the depression which was most certainly backed by Kenyes Economists.

oooooh so you’re point is that the decisions of ecology experts have bad economics side effects which they didn’t predict. Well no shit, they’re not experts on the economy.

You said economist. I said expert.

You’re right, people get called ‘experts’ on blogs, instead of being referred to by their actual specialty. Maybe that’s why we think ‘experts’ don’t know anything, because the phrase ‘expert’ seems to imply tehy should know EVERYTHING, which is ridiculous.

Says the guy who conflated expert and economist in this post.
