not everyone in tech is making 6 digits working at FAANG. stop blaming the workers. the problem is the gov, the economists, and the crazy policies during covid. there are plenty of other jobs high paid such as consulting, legal jobs that are not creating any clear value as well. at leas tech changed the way people buy things, communicate, move around, travel and created wealth into the midle class like no other profession. to earn well in law you need a network and a family that knows how to guide you through the best schools and best companies. same for consulting/banking a commononer won't get into rotschild or mckinsey. tech allowed all kind of people to build wealth.

Not on the premise of merit, and your take is valid for every jobs, it's the definition of a job

I agree with everything else you said

if we were a meritocraty we would have a 90 year old grandpa with memory loss and other mental impairment as president. we're in a peter sellers movie
