Mnuchin says Greta Thunberg is in no position to give economic advice until shes gone to college for an economics degree.
So he's not qualified to comment on climate change or women's reproductive rights then?
He shouldn't be working foreign policy?

Seriously, Greta can't comment?
Agree with the tweeter's comments on Mnunchin - where is his medical degree on women reproductive systems and his degree on environmental degree on climate.
Greta can say what she wants, she's enttitled to express her opinion just as he can. Gosh, I can't stand these self righteous GOP cretins.

My gap year ends in August, but it doesnt take a college degree in economics to realise that our remaining 1,5° carbon budget and ongoing fossil fuel subsidies and investments dont add up. 1/3
So either you tell us how to achieve this mitigation or explain to future generations and those already affected by the climate emergency why we should abandon our climate commitments. 2/3

based on United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) emissions gap report. 3/3

(22,143 posts)in America is far better equipped to comment on the economy then Mnunchin, who is a joke by the way in any body's book.

(6,477 posts)MAGAts love being told that they're only qualified to speak on a matter if they have a college degree in that area. It's a widespread belief among the red hats.
