Worth reading rather than reacting to the title. The author is basically arguing that "some people are too stupid to be worth the effort to employee them", not the more familiar way this phrase is used.
- hamper653 2mo agoSo by "working", the author really means "working for a wage"?
- simianwords 2mo agoits not so obvious that the stupid person won't provide positive returns at the margins. i'm sure there are a few people like that and they should be in disability or other government programs. but vast majority do provide value and should be working.
- maiti_ma 2mo agoI wish a different adjective was used other than 'stupid', because it can distract from the point of the article (I wanted to come up with an acronym - best attempt: Someone Too Unsuitably Positioned In D workforce, and finally asked chat gpt: Someone Tragically Unqualified, Poorly Integrated & Deployed). Anyhow, I don't take it as an insult to anyone, but simply people's circumstances (limited opportunities, lack of education..) can make it difficult for them to positively contribute to the system.
