Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

#4About 1.5 billion people were raised out of extreme poverty over about 30 years arguably because of capitalism. Similarly, large global middle classes have built up over that time. It feels like we should keep doing what we've been doing?

we pay software engineers 3x median income to barely know react service jobs and skilled trades all over are facing labor shortages
We pay managers who know nothing about technology even more.
[Edit]
And who's fault is it that people who barely know react are getting hired at those rates? Hiring managers.

If you define wealth as having money, maybe, but if you define it as having food, shelter, and mental health, then less so. The middle class is collapsing, so maybe we should do things a little differently?

idt we can simply blame the next rung up the ladder. we live in a culture that increasingly glorifies mediocrity and flattery. the hiring managers and engineers alike have been reared to believe the only difference from one person to the next is sensibilities, so any judgment on talent is a failure to support

The CEO/C-Suite/Board is responsible for the behavior of the company; they set the rules, and steer the "ship." They decide what money is allocated where.
I'm not sure who is glorifying mediocrity, that's an odd one.

Be careful how you measure that. Extreme poverty was defined as less than a dollar per day. Are you measuring progress or inflation?
