    I have a small collection of these ‘you don’t know who I am’ replies. This one is my favorite:

      It doesn’t mean she’s definitely a hypercapitalist con-artist or nazi.

      More likely, sure, but it sounds like she did a lot of work in the public space which drops the chance of Nazi down significantly and con artist down to…hold up, which year was this?

      Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life. Not once. So I can’t juge positively or negatively.

        In recent years, the Forbes 30 under 30 has included Caroline Ellison, Sam Bankman-Fried, Martin Shkreli, Charlie Javice, Chris Bakke, and Elizabeth Holmes, all of whom have been very publicly charged with fraud. Somebody did the math and discovered that the 30 under 30 have collectively defrauded investors of more than four times what they’ve raised legally.

        Forbes also named Silicon Valley Bank as the best in America in 2023, five days before it imploded and caused the second largest bank collapse in US history.

        Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life.

        You are smarter and more well-informed for it.

            It’s honestly kind of impressive. How does one publication manage to be so exactly wrong about that many topics?

              It’s Forbes, it’s hypercapitalist. Those people you listed are actually successful from forbes’ pov. After all, they got rich and got out. (Caveats like Holmes et al, but also real stallar performance from silicon valley bank).

                Sure, but they didn’t get away with it. That’s a key step for the late-stage capitalist; getting caught is like not sticking the landing.

      I think the truth is even funnier, Doctor of Divinity. Mr. useless doctorate thinks he can tell people to stay in their lane without even looking at a person’s bio before telling them to shut up.

    Not an engineer. A middle manager at best. “Wrote Policy” isn’t impressive. We have 90 year olds writing policy on AI who don’t even know what an e-mail is.

    Working at NASA is impressive though.

      Have you “Written Policy”? Has Brad? How about your high school teacher who explained why you were wrong on a test? Did you also tell her, “You’re not an engineer.”

      She worked for NASA then is the obvious takeaway of “I worked for NASA and Spaceforce” under these three people

        But only worked for space force for 2 people

        I was working space force way before it was space force

        I don’t consider it an accolade, nor would I consider being on that stupid forbes list as an accolade

              It’s not a statement of net worth. It’s a statement that she isn’t completely ignorant of what she is talking about.

              If a teacher in school corrected your mistake and you said, “Who are you to correct my obvious math error.” , the teacher could list her jobs in math and national awards for being a math teacher.

              Brad asked for her qualifications. She gave them.

              You’d be insane after asking for qualifications to reply , “Well I don’t brag about my awards.”

      NASA and Space Force work extremely closely in a vast number of capacities. There are dozens of ways she could have worked for NASA, and then had her responsibilities extend to assisting space force as well when it was created. Not sure why you desperately need to go out of your way to attack a successful woman, but it’s a pretty pathetic look.

        Oh, did I say something inaccurate?

        Not sure why you would disagree with accurate information.

        It’s a pretty pathetic look.

          Language is intended to convey content. Are you unable to understand what she said and need an adult to explain to you what she meant? While the wording could be less ambiguous, it does not detract from what she was trying to convey. She wasn’t posting a CV, and trying to dismiss her like this feels like you’re trying to come up with any reason to invalidate what she is saying.

              To what end? What is the purpose that you feel you need to correct that inaccuracy, because she did not say “A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force” like her actual bio does, even though you, and anyone else reading, understood that context?

              And with 30 under 30, it’s 1,230 people a year. It’s just a list of influential under 30 year olds across various industries. It’s going to include good and bad people. Forbes itself addresses it even: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesunder30team/2023/11/28/hall-of-shame-the-10-most-dubious-people-ever-to-make-our-30-under-30-list/

              She’s someone who distills space science down to easy to consume media to the point she specialized and got a job doing it for the government, so she has credentials to be able to talk about space on social media. That’s all the more she was saying.
