smittyoneeach's Journal: Pedigree

The key word is pedigree: the array of background traits, including the cultural, social, and educational capital passed from one generation to the next, which [Elite Professional Services firm] candidates bring to the competition for elite jobs. But it's a closed competition. One must get through the gates first. A candidate's pedigree determines whether his or her application to an EPS firm is legitimately considered in the competition, or tossed in a slush pile of candidates who have no realistic chance to even compete for such jobs.

Now, wait: the fruit of Progress is an impenetrable thicket of legislation/regulation produced by the clerisy. Of course it's rigged. You can't stab capitalism in the heart and then bemoan the rise of the nomenklatura. Or maybe the entire article is just a refined Progressive troll.

Meaningless, one is purple, the other is yellow, they share identical goals... of dominance.

Re:

[sarc]Yeah, the whole "dominance" thing clearly explains why Jesus of Nazareth ended up nailed to something.[/sarc]

Re:

'Jesus' is a fable, and the institution that uses the name is an insult to it.

Re:

[smittyoneeach]

You're saying a fable can be insulted? Fabulous.

Re:

[fustakrakich]

Fabulous

Absolutely!

'Twere an obvious play.

Oh, and as far as the subject of the JE goes, I couldn't tell if you're complaining or 'observing', the link was content free, but the styling was a bit, inciteful?

Re:

the link was content free

I thought it drove home a fine point. YMMV.

Re:

No, it's the same old crap. I've heard it all before, just people favoring their own kind. I really can hardly fault them, considering the nature of things.
