How do you even misspell things, when every device you have has spell check and autocorrects you?

She has, uh, other qualifications.

'Mericocracy

go watch idiocracy again. and again. i think they were on to something.

If the US was actually a meritocracy, I’d be rich. I built my career in comp sci and UXD from nothing. I left school in 9th grade then taught myself programming in multiple languages – BASIC then Perl, Java, C, and on to C++, C#, ObjC, JavaScript, and markup languages, – and UXD including related important fields (psychology, sociology, philosophy), and worked my way from a delivery driver to cook, to assistant mgr in retail and restaurant to manager (to make ends meet whilst learning) to programmer, to assistant lead, to PM assistant, to project manager, to designer, to lead designer at a company where I had more than 10 million users and was submitted for an Apple design award for my design.

Then I got sick with a genetic disease for which there’s no treatment or cure. Now I can no longer work and as a result, I am destitute, my savings are gone, and I have nothing but social security and Medicare, which is horribly broken. I can’t afford housing, and have to choose between medicine and food.

This is in the US, obviously. I have plenty more to contribute – my mind still works fine – but I can’t contribute in this system because I can’t reliably work.

I am fucked. I can’t afford to live anymore and, regardless of what I could contribute in a system that might allow me to, I am stuck doing nothing and slowly dying because this system is designed to fuck me as hard as possible.

This is not a meritocracy. If it was, I would not be in the position of choosing whether to eat or buy medicine.

e2: and we wouldn’t have a complete moron making billions by stealing the work of others (people like me) then just casting them aside like they’re nothing. Yes, I mean that absolute shitbag poser, you all know his name.
Sorry for all the edits, this pisses me off.

e: I also wrote a scifi novel that I can’t market because I’ve been too sick. Because I’m so desperate, I’m going to mention it here – I could use a couple of reviews. Based on current reviews, it’s not bad: Blue Are the Hills by Lilly Piper on Amazon, if you’re into dystopian fiction. I’ve tried to market myself as much as I can, but it’s hard. That’s why my Lemmy icon is my face – not because I’m a boomer, but because it’s my branding.

To be fair thats a hard to spell word but im not steering a country of 340 million people so i get to spell it wrong.

We need to stop being in shock and awe at how stupid these people are and start understanding that they are our enemies. They work in direct opposition to the welfare of average Americans. They're also stupid. But more importantly, they are our enemies, and we need to start framing it as such.

What's even fucking worse is that we live in an era of autocorrect and autofill.

She didn't get her job by knowing how to spell or read

One of the top people they've appointed to OPM, (yes that OPM sending scam resignation deals to civil servants), graduated high school in 2024.

When they say Meritocracy they mean Aristocracy.

Local radio fired their news department and brought in cheap new talent.

Last night they mispromounced Potomac and i shook my head.

But a few weeks ago when the news reader mispronounced Orwellian, a canary died somewhere.

It's written right there on the tag: "Escort"

There are certain things which are required of those who wish to serve in the Trump Administration. None of those things happen to be intelligence.

She’s a core respondent. Get woke libtard.

Going for some Ivanka resemblance, perhaps?

This journalist is going to have the nuclear codes in the tabloids before long.
