We wonder why things don’t work anymore? Here is one pretty logical answer.
A’s hire A’s and B’s hire C’s. (and you seriously do not want to meet the people C’s hire)
that’s it. that’s all we need to extrapolate and plot it.
this pattern emerges in response to two simple drives affecting all those who lack ability to compete:
the essence of this is simple: the highly competent (A’s) wish to be surrounded by other highly competent people. an organization of mostly A’s (or at least A’s in management) thrives and gets lots done. it innovates. it rewards achievement and ability. it’s a meritocracy. because that’s what A’s want.
and B’s hate this. they cannot get ahead and they live in fear of A’s beneath them coming for their jobs and hatred of A’s above them who prevent advancement and who make demands for performance.
they do not want their jobs taken, so they respond to this by hiring only those less competent than themselves to work under them (C’s). this is how they hold position and avoid challenge and threat.
ideally, they’d also like to clear any A’s above them out of the way so they can generate some upward mobility. they cannot do this on a meritocratic axis, so they seek another one to supplant it.
they seek to move hiring and promotion to some other quality than ability then reinforce it with doctrine.
the pretext itself is incidental to this process. it does not really matter what it is.
it just has to be “something other than competence” and you land in this self-referential recursive trap.
DEI/woke/ESG is not some new thing. it’s just the same set of anti-meritocracy pigs that thrive in communist and other authoritarian systems dressed up with different lipstick. the pretexts change but the praxis is timeless.
Note: The all lower case type seems to be some device of the writer. To what purpose I have not a clue.

Quotas and affirmative action. I worked for a major airline. Quotas were more important than quality. It was a totally dysfunctional workplace. Affirmative Action is the Marxist euphemism for discriminating against White people.
Just before I graduated from college, another student in my major said that he would get a job before I did because my grades were too high. I thought that he was crazy but it turned out to be true. It seemed that my transcript cost me in the job market until I figured it out and started my own business.
January 19th is the Inauguration Party. The 20th is the Inauguration. Two days with elevated chances for a false flag or the real deal. This is your last week to prep before these days. If the balloon goes up, gun stores may be forced to close. Get it while the get ins good.
