The United States has become a place where entertainers, professional athletes, influencers, and podcasters are mistaken as people of wisdom and importance.

I’ve needed a doctor, teacher, farmer, clerk, truck driver, every day.

I’ve needed an auto mechanic, pastor, a plumber, roofer, electrician, policeman, fireman, contractor, house painter and a lot of other everyday people.

But I have never, not even once, needed a pro athlete, a media personality, or a Hollywood entertainer for anything.
