You quickly realize how real and prevalent this is when you go to the airport lounges:

Elite overproduction is when a society produces more high-achieving, status-seeking individuals than there are elite positions available, leading to intense competition, conflict, and instability.

Lounges are for free food and drinks and I’ll never look at it differently

Honestly though I did the math on the Amex platinum and the annual coupons I typically use cover more than just the annual fee, so I keep it for that reason alone.

I actually prefer an airport bar to the lounges usually.

ok my bad mr eloquent didn’t know the chief of grammar and speech was working on weekends

I was thinking about this too and I came to the realization that who cares. Besides being a doctor all these “elite” positions exist for is making a lot of money. If that’s your main goal then sure go compete with the other super achieving hungry wolves for that. The positions that actually impact the world positively like humanitarianism, education, public safety, scientific discovery, infrastructure development, healthcare, etc. are still accessible to the common man that works hard but doesn’t need to be “elite” and still allows for a fulfilling life.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people.

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
