I don't doubt that is the case. But problems also need to be solved, and that is non-trivial part of building things, though it varies from project to project. My example of a train was a bad one because of the enormous liability, but if you look at something like roof trusses, that shit needs to be planed back, notched, etc from time to time.
Mouth breather or PhD, one chair one vote.
I get the gist of where your coming from but it wasn't a consulting engineering firm that initiated legal actions against him.
lots of missing details, but the video seems to infer that he found some "mistakes" and was just trying to have somebody look.
If someone is practicing medicine without a license, should he not be taken to court?
In all fairness to automotive engineers....each of the major systems are designed by different engineering teams.....and they don't all necessarily talk to each other as much as you'd think.
So you either have to be an engineer or a pussy hurt attorney, either way you're still an asshole.
sure, but dude wasn't designing, building or treating anyone or anything.
Because, when shit goes down, the "guy with the facts" will be all 'Don't look at me, I'm not an expert," but the guy with the 'big gov't papers' is -legally- holding the bag...
Exactly
My thinking is all 10 friends should have to work on their stuff before it hits production.
There was a doctor in Houston years back that found the cure to cancer, he was curing uncurable patients. But he wanted to help people and give it away and the fda wanted the recipe so they could patent it. Instead of saying he was a charlatan the ran him into the ground with legal stuff until he couldnt operate anymore. It doesnt benefit the doctors to cure cancer, its more profitable to treat it with chemo that may cause other cancers to treat.
Whatever he's doing came to the attention of the state licensing board. They sent a letter telling him they've determined he's practicing engineering without a license.
Licensing isn't a bad thing. It shows that the individual has a general understanding of the trade or profession they choose.
yeah seems crazy until i reflect upon the fact that the heads and top levels of several .gov agencies (doj. fbi, cia, nsa, state department and congress) tried to frame and replace a sitting elected president using complete fabrication and outright lies.
IF there is more to the story, fine. The idea that a guy can't do math and tell someone his results without a license is absurd. The license thing has two purposes. 1.) Its a basic competency requirement used to weed out idiots who shouldn't be designing things peoples lives depend on, like bridges. Pass the tests , pay the fee, get the license. 2.) Its to provide a mechanism of accountability if the bridge falls down and the state wonders "who was responsible for this?" Its whoever's name, license #, and stamp is on the drawing.
Licensing is usually a much worse thing than we give it credit for. You can break it down into several categories. Do we need licensed cosmetologists and the like? Almost certainly not. Lawyers probably don't need licenses, if you think about it. Some categories, say CPAs, Engineers and MDs are stronger cases, but if you take away the fact that we think of them as licensed professions, and therefore accept the necessity, the case for any of it is much less clear. I'd propose that if we can determine that more than 60% of the actual reason for licensing is that the current professionals want to keep people out of the profession so there is less competition, we ditch the licensing scheme immediately. Any less than that, and we can debate it.
I'm kinda on this bandwagon.
Do you know enough to judge the efficacy of their past works? Can you discern if there is a difference between what logic tells you and and what's correct?
You need to chill the fuck out Karen. I didn't see or hear anything in the video that stated he was an "expert witness" or providing anything more than an OPINION on what may have happened. He didn't show anything with a licensed engineers stamp on it. It's nothing more than a piece of paper with graphite smeared on it.
Look up the watershed projects for southern Stark County and Northern Tusc County Ohio.
I feel the same way.
I'm not sure what kind of meds you're mainlineing but you don't even have a clue if the shit in front of him had a damn thing to do with the issue of which he was speaking?
He’s practicing engineering as much as you’re practicing law.
If youre trying to say a licensed engineer is more competent then a non licensed engineer, I have some bad news for you!
I was with you.....right until the last sentence....ive seen a thing or two.
I guess my threatening letter from the state BAR is lost in the mail
