Professors

Why does the news media need to run to college campuses to talk to these idiots? These professors can't run a business. They have no idea what it's like in the real world.

Mail order businesses have always had tax-free sales. The disadvantage to mail order is the cost of shipping. Also, you lose the sense of immediate gratification. Shopping locally, you can find something immediately. And in some cases, you're paying for the brick and mortar store. You're paying the employees to serve the consumer, answer questions, etc. Amazon (and every other mail order firm) doesn't have to maintain a store in every locale. They don't have a bunch of people to wait on you either. It's self-service.
Why do people give college professors so much credit? 99% of these morons would get fired from most jobs because they can't function in any real world job. Can you imagine a college professor working as an insurance agent? Or a loan officer at a bank? These people would get fired, or they'd starve to death. Why are they suddenly considered experts?
The only professors I respected in college were in math and the hard sciences. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus.
