MERITOCRACY that is called. What is an example of meritocracy in society? 1. Getting the Job due to Higher Qualifications. Why it's Meritocratic: We could consider getting a job due to higher qualifications as a sign of meritocracy working. In this instance, you'd get the job purely based on your ability to outdo your competitors and not based on factors like nepotism or politicking.

he real problem is corporations want to price gouging and want to pay their employees low wages that's the real problem. People want to work but is the first time they get to choose where and for how much so fy corporations and fy old man!

Another part of it is the growth of the gig economy. If people don't like what businesses are offering, they have the option to try to take on a gig job like Uber or Doordash, and, often times, these jobs pay better than a lot of businesses do. The average Uber driver makes around $42,000 per year according to Comparably (roughly $20/hr at 40 hrs. per week). Knowing that, it makes sense that people might turn down part time jobs at $15/hr in favor of driving for Uber. Businesses may need to adapt and increase their offers if gig jobs continue growing in popularity.

They never learn that actions have consequences. They're not given a chance to grow up.

Boomers raised gen X then gen X raised the millenials. A lot of boomers never had to have both parents working because the dollar purchased more in 1960s and 70s then in the 80s and to present. Greed caused both parents to work and throw them into day care with 20 or 30 other kids as toddlers. You know what happens to cows and other animals in large pens, they get sick and mentally ill. There is no attention given to them, very little love. You people live in glass houses and the younger generations will break them because you failed to take care of them.

@Rebecca Acnl Glad you made it out. My brother has disabilities and the number one thing those entry level low paid jobs have in common?

They have you take a assessment test during the application asking all kinds of stupid questions. I have tried answering them different ways but still I get absolutely no calls from Home Depot. I would love to find a part time job just to work but I have applied all over the place and get zero responses from my applications. I am guessing it has to do with my being a white male and my age at this point.

@@mhesse4325 I'm 65 and work part time as in home caregiver in the Asheville NC area and I could work 40 hours a week easy. I do part time, (22 hours) and enjoy my work for the most part. My bring home is around 325 a week and along with my retirement I do ok.

blame your government for shipping jobs and pays oversea, yes, from Clinton to Obama, Trump was the on trying to redo all the deals, then he got kicked out. Biden? he just allow 4 million illegals to get in for his first 2 years, good luck with your living wage pipe dream. but on the flip side, if illegals can make a living, why can't you? they are being paid below min wage.

@@haihengh US citizen trying to make a living mowing grass or laying roof shingles is expected to abide by the tax code. If they were to get caught not paying taxes they can lose everything and even be imprisoned and they have no home country to escape to if that happens. If someone entered illegally or overstayed a visa and doesnt pay tax, gets in a wreck without any car insurance, shows up at the emergency room but never pays the bill, doesnt pay rent for months and uses every lie their Aunt taught them of how to get a bigger welfare check by fraud and worst case if they know they are going to be prosecuted for something, they sell everything they cannot ship and go back home with all the money they can grab on the way out. They can gamble on the risk of getting caught because they have sympathy on their side, they can play ignorant and they have a possibility of escape should they get caught. What would happen if a US citizen got caught not paying taxes, walking out on hospital bills, months worth of unpaid rent, car wrecks with no insurance, defrauding public assistance, in Viet Nam? Just imagine if 2000 US citizens showed up at the Viet Nam border every day with only the clothes on their back, not even any ID. Would they be able to eat beef steak every night that Viet Namese people paid for but cannot afford for themselves? There are ID cards scattered all over the ground just outside the US border, millions of them. Why would a person throw away their ID just prior to surrendering to US border patrol? Simple, they want to present themself as someone else, perhaps cause they got deported before and need a new identity to try it again. Now dont get me wrong, a lot of people come to the US and end up becoming citizens themselves by contributing and adopting their new home and doing all they can to help it thrive, but there are a lot who just want to gain all they can by any means possible and they dont care if they leave it in shambles. That is the kind of people who made the place they left undesirable in the first place and the US is ushering them in by the millions with little regard for whether they are likely to pay taxes and obey the law or not. If they break the law to get in, what would make anybody think they will abide by the law thereafter? 9 months later they dont show up for the hearing and nobody knows where or who they are. I agree the US government is effed and so are anyone who support it continuing to favor everyone else over it's own citizens. US is not unique in the trend to take much better care of foriegners than it's own, there seems to be a pandemic of governments in the west crushing their own people in favor of continued invasion. I'm sure there is plenty of goodess and beauty in Guatemala, I just dont want my state to become what Guatemala has become.

Excellent point. How does this statement only get six thumbs up in four days? Shareholders are monopolizing the time of the people who would agree with you, if they only had time to read it.

@Cisco Kid Fab That's because all the old tools can't read and comprehend what op has just stated. So they don't upvote. It's only the "entitled" teens/young adults who upvoted him.

I can honestly say that I don’t blame someone for not working. When you think about it the deal is rigged against them. It used to be that you could forge ahead to climb the ladder and get somewhere. Currently, that’s not the case. I would also add that these younger people see the problems of the how businesses run today. All of us know the wage gap for the rich (CEOS, executives, shareholders) is like light years away from the normal person. You are also correct that the average employee at any age can never get ahead. It’s nearly impossible for anyone to make a decent living on honest work. It also unlikely that any of the greedy sodomites will ever agree to flattening out the their wages. I pray that there will be a conviction in those robber barons heads to think and lead with compassion for those under them. I don’t see that happening because Greed is what they live by. Shame!

If something is so important that it needs to be done, perhaps the person who needs it done should offer something better than at or near minimum wage for it. The fact of the matter is that companies like Home Depot struggle to find workers, not because people are lazy or entitled, but because the pay that these comapnies offer is complete crap. People can't live off of what a lot of these companies offer, and, as a result, are starting to look elsewhere for a source of income. Instead of taking a conventional job at a company like Home Depot, they might start doing something like driving for Uber instead. And, chances are they still end up poor whether they take the conventional job or drive for Uber, but at least driving for Uber gives someone flexibility that a conventional job can't match. It's part of the reason why these gig jobs are becoming increasingly popular.

Yep, we even had a president just like that, but we patriots voted his fat butt out!

Agreed. This current gen wants more for doing less than ever before....not a path for progress.

@@shawness93 Is your analysis based upon anything factual or are you just regurgitating this tools point of view because you don't know how to think critically or for yourself.

@Cody P. based on experience. Obviously, you think very highly of your own opinion to where you're willing to issue disrespect because someone doesn't agree with your views. Grow up jerk!

That's over 3,000 hours I expect you to be able to finish building a frigging sports stadium from the ground up in that time.

@@williamgee6654it's actually 87.5 40-hour work weeks... This dude is lying

I agree 100%. Dont want to hear from this guy. Only President Trump, Matt Gaetz and the rest of the doers who love our country and its people.

It's because you only got Covid at the Mom and Pops duhmocracy!

You didn't hear it because nobody asked him.

@bubble jim Yeah, and now he runs an investment firm that is buying up all the middle class housing so we can own nothing and be unhappy.
