I don't even need to read the article to know this is going to be a long winded piece of popular bullshit.

Just look at the title, manages to demean and belittle an entire industry that is entirely required for a functioning economy and society.

Y'all wonder why blue collar America thinks we're stuck up entitled pricks? Maybe it's because we are.

This article basically boils down to "scientists suck, the government sucks, truck drivers have everything figured out". Pretty much the opposite of what you are suggesting. There's a layer of humility which obfuscates this a little.

yep I thought like that too. I don't know truck drivers, but the way the title is put, it seems to oppose the "genius" of a nuclear bomb to, well, a mere truck driver. I'm not entirely sure the people behind the bomb were smarter than a truck driver. The human qualities needed to decide to work on a bomb or not, which to me is infinitely stronger than what it takes to be a physicist or mathematician, can be found as well in a truck driver...
