Generally speaking, this is because we, as a society, created a specialized manager class from people who are educated to be bean counters but not educated enough to be bookkeepers, accountants, etc. This manager class isn’t educated in the craft they are managing.

1/10
They are not old masters or, necessarily, the original founding entrepreneur who did it all in the beginning. Even if it is the founding entrepreneur, there are some fields (like web design) which are too technical for the typical entrepreneur to even attempt to dabble in.

2/10
In order to address the aspects of the business in which the entrepreneur is incompetent that entrepreneur attempts to buy an expert in the field by hiring them.

3/10
How do you evaluate competence when you know nothing about the craft or are not yourself expert in the craft?

4/10
You look at the purported quality of the school that educated the potential hire, you look at the purported experience of the potential hire, and you ask for references from a potential hire so you can get a measure in a form that you can understand.

5/10
This is why hiring even semiskilled work is a bloody mess and it has even impacted the hiring process of unskilled work where there is a glut of workers and not enough jobs. No one asks for portfolios or work samples in the hiring process except the best employers.

6/10
Asking for actual evidence of competence (such as portfolios, code samples, or writing samples, etc., or tests of vocational performance during the hiring process) is what sets the best employers apart from every other employer. This is why job-seeking is a mess.

7/10
There is a path to fix this job-seeking quagmire, but the United States of America 🇺🇸 isn’t prepared for it and it may be too late to implement that path to fix the managerial class (and resulting quagmire) in a way that would make a difference in the lives of most folks.

8/10
This is because a great plurality (nearly a majority) of workers will likely become unemployable (in the best timeline) or menially employed for the sake of appearing to perform truly pointless work (in the worst timeline).

9/10
(See, e.g., and regarding the coming unemployability crisis.)

@Tekla_Too @honnasiri @SeptimusSulla @sesmiel @anon95123 @SSingh_06 @gypsy_nilima @PoonamSharma__ @PhilMitchell83 @Oneiorosgrip There was a time in which only men were awarded custody of children if a married couple ever split. During that period, men had to be the breadwinner and the homemaker, but modern women do not seem capable of working as much as men of olden times.

Why is that?
@Tekla_Too @honnasiri @SeptimusSulla @sesmiel @anon95123 @SSingh_06 @gypsy_nilima @PoonamSharma__ @PhilMitchell83 @Oneiorosgrip Regarding when men always got custody in divorce, consider "Lagging Behind the Times: Parenthood, Custody, and Gender Bias in the Family Court" by Cynthia A. McNeely published in 1998 in Volume 25 of the _Florida State University Law Review_ page 891 (ir.law.fsu.edu/cgi/viewconten…).
@Tekla_Too @honnasiri @SeptimusSulla @sesmiel @anon95123 @SSingh_06 @gypsy_nilima @PoonamSharma__ @PhilMitchell83 @Oneiorosgrip "[T]he father [was designated] as the natural protector of children because he had the ability to provide for their financial support. Women were seen as incapable of handling legal or financial matters…." 25 Fla. St. U. L. Rev. 891, 897 (1998).

@MichaelGLFlood Kind of hard to "[e]ngage men at [any] level [or] …walk the walk" when you're publically caught advocating in favor of punishing the innocent accused by tweeting that MRAs are acting against rape accusers with support from an article arguing fighting false accusations is wrong.
@MichaelGLFlood The paper that @MichaelGLFlood cites is "Sexual Violence in the ‘Manosphere’: Antifeminist Men’s Rights Discourses on Rape" by Lise Gotell and Emily Dutton and published in 2016 in the _International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy_ (xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…).
@MichaelGLFlood "In this paper, [the authors] explore the role that antifeminist men’s rights activism (MRA[]) is playing in a contemporary backlash to feminist anti‐rape activism" (xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…, p. 66).

@MichaelGLFlood Gotell and Dutton 2016?

Do you mean the feminists who bragged that they succeeded in making men's innocence almost impossible to demonstrate (xyonline.net/sites/xyonline…, p.66)?

@MichaelGLFlood @eccentrikhat Oh when you back pedaled when you realized you argued against men protesting to be able to defend their innocence and asking women not to make false allegations? You seem to not to read the academic papers you cite as you don’t realize what is in them. Let’s go down memory lane.
@MichaelGLFlood @eccentrikhat The paper @MichaelGLFlood presents complains that MRAs in Canada are illegitimately challenging the feminists gains regarding the "affirmative consent" standard for rape. Let's go point for point and see what is reasonable.
@MichaelGLFlood @eccentrikhat "Canada has moved towards an affirmative consent standard…. There is no implied consent in Canadian law; silence and ambiguity cannot be taken as indicating agreement to engage in sex; and consent must be active throughout a sexual encounter." @MichaelGLFlood's paper, p. 66.

@Tekla_Too What the Selective Service wrote is correct, but misleading. The issue is that failing to register for the draft is a felony and most state laws preclude (for a time, at least) voting by felons (felonvoting.procon.org/state-felon-vo…; aclu.org/issues/voting-…).
@Tekla_Too “If required to register with Selective Service, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment“ (sss.gov/register/benef…). 18 U.S.C. §3571(b)(3); 50 U.S. Code §§ 3802, 3811 (fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R…, p. 23).
@Tekla_Too As the @NationalNOW argued, "Congress’s decision to exclude women from the male-only registration requirement denies women a key aspect of their citizenship. To reap equal rewards of citizenship, women must equally bear its burdens" (supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…, p. 4).
