The parent post deserves to be modded +5 insightful. What is fundamentally killing our economy right now is simply that malicious incompetence is given a free pass. It seems like most the world doesn't realize its possible for incompetent people to pretend, purposefully, to be either more or less incompetent than they actually are, to suit their own ends. In both cases, this type of behavior at the very least should disqualify them from claiming they can do said tasks effectively, even if they actually could do so by trying harder. Almost universally though I see cases where obviously malicious laziness and incompetence is given a free pass because apparently the one thing we, as Americans are too polite to do is fire someone for lying about their own qualifications.
