  1. When you have a system that idolizes competition and hierarchy, this is the inevitable result.

  2.  @Spider-Too-Too  we already have a system where only about 1% of people have an effective voice in government. The shithole world you see is the result. We need a government that's more democratic, not more fascistic.

  3. Or the biggest kissass. It's almost like we have a system designed to reward people with a greater desire for power than capability to responsibly handle it with exactly what they keep asking for.

  4.  @blank003  as I said, go research the history. Even something as "objective" as a literacy test can be abused. Besides, the people who just randomly vote cancel each other out. Better education is a good thing. Ending money in politics to limit the spread of disinformation is a good thing. Creating a system of disenfranchisement that will, no matter how hard you try to prevent it, be abused is a bad thing. I know it sounds intuitive, but by no means or justification should the government be allowed to deny adult citizens the right to vote. The right needs to be inalienable for the proper functioning of a democratic system.

  5.  @steamnamebbderinvade__  welcome to the one you likely live in.

  6.  @therealbahamut  also, if competant leaders were put in management (and not prevented from being effective) they would become a threat to current management.

  7.  @blank003  go look up the history of voting tests in this country and think about the disparate quality of education and ask yourself if that is a good idea. The simple truth is that if you give elected officials the (ass backwards) ability to choose their voters, it will be abused.

  8. They only promote competant people to management when higher management wants to offload things that should be their responsibilities onto them...which means any competent people in management are going to be both overworked and dealing with an incompetent superior preventing them from doing their job well...which produces nearly identical results.

  9.  @golternator333  of course there's a glass ceiling as a specialist. As a specialist, you can make no more than the value your work produces. The highest "earners" all "make" more than the value their work produces. That ceiling is nothing to be ashamed of, though, at least when you're below it.

  10. How radical are you willing to go? You could democratize the workplace.

  11. Those with no interest in critical observation and analysis are very, very common. (Probably most people, if we're being honest)

  12. It was much worse before the FDA existed, but there needs to be some really significant housecleaning and anticorruption reforms put in place.

  13. "Unless they are willing to start engaging in heavy workplace politics" Many steps later, studies find that CEOs have a proportion of psychopaths 20-25x higher than the general population and CEO pay to have no correlation with company performance.

  14. That only kicks in at a certain level though. Gotta have the workers see overworked low-level managers to keep up the illusion that being a CEO is hard.

  15. Legally distinct from any existing product. 😉

  16. Counterpoint: what kind of person is most likely to ask for a promotion? Maybe that system isn't exactly the best.

  17. They have learned to externalize as much of that cost as possible.
