    Wasn’t the ex reality TV star who became president and put a news reader in charge of the military and anti-vaxxer in charge of healthcare, just talking about and glorifying meritocracies the other day? I thought these people were so against DEI because they care that much about having the right person for the job?

      Meritocracy kind of inherently, if not often admittedly, means “if you’re rich and/or famous, you deserve to be.”

      It becomes a circular logic where fortune justifies privilege and privilege is used to extract more fortune.
