Sometimes The Smartest And Most Educated People Are Stupid And Ignorant

Let's revisit this tweet, which I posted yesterday. In it, Mayor Adams of NYC boasts that his city council is made up of some of the smartest and most educated people around.

When it comes to logistics and population control, those people couldn't be more adrift if they were on a life raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They understand bureaucracy, budgets, meetings and regulations. They are utterly unprepared for 100,000 110,000 120,000 130,000 140,000 150,000 illegals invading their city, expecting support.

As a frame of reference, 150,000 illegals is equivalent to about 37 US Army infantry brigades. That's 6 more than there are in the entire US Army. If I want to keep a force that large supplied, housed, fed and controlled, I'm probably not turning to an Ivy League genius who has never even pitched a tent. I'd turn to someone like this. Note that Army sergeants almost certainly don't have college degrees, not even from North Dakota State.

Here's a handy reference table explaining the supply classes he mentions in that video.

Class of Supply	Category	Spare parts & Materials for repairs
Class 1	Subsistence	Food, rations, water
Class 2	Clothing and Equipment	Uniforms, protective gear, tents
Class 3	Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants	Fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids
Class 4	Construction and Barrier Materials	Sandbags, barbed wire, fencing
Class 5	Ammunition	Ammunition (Guns) & Explosives,
Class 6	Personal Demand Items	Spare parts & Materials for repairs
Class 7	Major End Items	Tanks, aircraft, vehicles
Class 8	Medical Supplies and Equipment	Medical materials
Class 9	Repair Parts and Components	Spare parts & Material for repairs
Class 10	Miscellaneous Supplies	Items not included in Class I to X

Because the progressives have discarded reality for theory, they are utterly unequipped to deal with the logistics of supporting the illegals their sanctuary cities are sanctuarying. Eric Adams, who it must be said is a smart dresser, can give PowerPoint presentation to his elite-school, high-GPA college grads morning, noon and night and they still will just be beginning to comprehend how difficult it is to maintain a large force in the field.

They don't know how anything works, but it looks to me like they're learning the hard way. Have fun with that, blue, sanctuary cities!

Super Special Bonus Tidbit

If you listen carefully to Mayor Adams, he asks his crew if they've "organized" to get the flood of illegals to stop. "Organizing" refers to political action. It does not refer to water, food, clothing or control.
