I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients, and college presidents who don't commit plagiarism.

We could add a whole list to that: I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients, and college presidents who don't commit plagiarism.

Teachers that teach, not indoctrinate.

Priests that are straight and faithful, not perverted homosexuals.

Until “Critical Thinking” is a required course(s) in school Engineers will design Woke structures that won’t last, Doctors will butcher mentally ill (Trans) patients and Scientists will rewrite definitions to “fit” their agenda.

Yep, DEI and Woke are going to get lots of innocent people killed.

Jumbo jet pilot in the air: “Take over. I paid for someone to take my exams and write my papers and I plagiarized half of my other stuff. I can’t really fly.”

Co-pilot: “Neither can I. I got us through takeoff from a youtube video.”

Pilot: “Let’s hope there’s a passenger back there who didn’t eat fish for supper.”

Sure, you may want a good lawyer, but more lawyers means more business for lawyers.

For libs its always “selective” enforcement of whatever they want

In fields where blacks do not excel, they demand quotas and other schemes to inflate black rates of infiltration

In fields where blacks excel, they proudly tout meritocracy

If they were consistent they would demand whites be installed more onto basketball and football teams now, also rap music

We’ll get around to eliminating meritocracy right after it is eliminated from all sports.

Add Moral Reasoning to Critical Thinking. Seems many cannot tell the difference between right and wrong. There’s a real problem identifying Evil.

"I support meritocracy because I want bridge engineers who are good at math, doctors who don't butcher their patients, and college presidents who don't commit plagiarism."

I would like a President and his administration who are not traitors to the United States.

I would like a Congress that is not filled with traitorous Demonicrats and gutless coward RINOcrats.

Excellent fundamental points. Without either, the rest of the good points won’t last long.

My boss died in the Hyatt disaster which happened in KCMO in I think the early 80s. They found out that the bolts that held up the inside bridge were not well designed and the entire bridge fell killing hundreds of people.

Condolences to your former boss’ family.

It was a little more complicated than that. The contractor used the wrong grade of nuts and skimped on the washers as well, so the walkway was being held up by weaker nuts without the load being properly distributed through the beams by the correct washers.
