If the US was actually a meritocracy, I’d be rich. I built my career in comp sci and UXD from nothing (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 design lead, 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.
Camachos’ secretary of state was hotter.
These people don’t deserve to breath the same air we breath. If you can’t see everyone as equal then you are beneath us and need to be dealt with in the most severe method possible.
What’s even fucking worse is that we live in an era of autocorrect and autofill.
“Corespondent” is a word, though. It just has a totally different meaning.
Corespondent
Huh, TIL. That is a very different meaning but one that makes a surprising amount of sense in this administration.
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.
Intelligence and Cunning are two different things.
If I’m walking through the woods and I’m being stalked by a predator the fact that it cant do long division doesnt matter for shit.
Enemies? I disagree. It’s more like watching a toddler playing with a loaded gun.
Toddlers murder a wild number of people.
This is exactly a toddler with a gun.
Edit for numbers:
Some might assume that toddlers and young children may not be strong enough to pull a trigger, but that is not the case, experts said. At least 895 children aged 5 and under have managed to find a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else from 2015 to 2022, according to Everytown.

Remember, children cannot purchase guns in the USA. Many also lack the hand strength to fire.
I apologize for the source.

It doesn’t count as DEI if you’re hired to be a sex object (disgusted sarcasm)
Is there any reason this person should he seen as a journalist? Im only seeing an IMDB page
Because she’s white and conventionally attractive. Can’t spell for shit but we are to rely on her narrative? Nah homie.
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.
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.
They do this intentionally, it’s part of Trump’s populist cult, White house messages under his last admin had intentional spelling and grammar errors and when asked staffers said they did it intentionally to match Trump’s ‘style’ breaking norms is a big part of populist cults of personally.
they dont need her to do the job in the title they just need her to be a populist
It’s written right there on the tag: “Escort”
Can we not accuse people of being whores just because we dislike their politics?
I agree. Sex work should not be slandered by comparing this idiot to a sex worker.
That’s also likely true I just don’t like accusing someone of being a whore because they are a fascist.
Escorts don’t have to be whores now. But I think the idea that her sex appeal directly influenced her hiring definitely has merit. Could it be worded better? Sure, but it’s obviously not meant as an offensive to escorts.
Hardly. Escorts charge by the hour. She’s salary.
So… Concubine?
Idk if they are paid tho

What the fuck? Live out your weird fetishes with her somewhere else
And even if you do fuck her, please use protection. The last thing we need is nazi babies.

Nah it’s just creepy to talk about non sexualized people in a very sexualized manner.

By saying that, we look no better than nazis. By doubling down you should be on the list more and more, and need some help.

taking edgy too literally

Frankly if you’re out here trying to rape Nazis you’d be next on the list of people that need to be taken care of… Violence against Nazis is necessary, sexual violence is fucked up.
We don’t need goons (see what I did there) in the revolution.
No it’s not.

No, rape isn’t ok.
Nope. She will get pleasure by having sex. Nazis only deserve gruesome things happening to them.
Im 100% positive that guy isn’t giving anyone pleasure

I’m getting My Immortal flashbacks…
Going for some Ivanka resemblance, perhaps?
This journalist is going to have the nuclear codes in the tabloids before long.
Looks nothing like her though? Ivanka is middle aged and looks the part.
Thin white woman, long blonde hair, lots of eye makeup, full lips, etc. It’s not that they’re twins, it’s that they’re a similar type.
And it doesn’t matter what we think. The president is the one that wants to fuck her, lol.
