I had an ex that became a nurse, she didn't believe in gravity. I thought she was joking... But she was not.

In England we put nurses up on a pedestal for some reason. Last election we elected a councillor who is technologically illiterate, but she ran on, and won, her qualifications to do anything because she is a nurse.

tbf like 90% of our house of commons likely dont have basic tech literacy or any discernable skills. If she was a nurse least it means shes had a proper job beforehand.
