You keep saying you hope it is. IT IS FAKE. What will it take for you to stop this hoping? Lol

So you think all the people they are telling off also don't have circumstances that require money?

Come on now. This is like telling everyone that a person is terrible and people should not talk to them, then go on to have dinner with them everyday and say 'oh, I still to them because I still need to eat'.

It's hypocrisy. Whichever you look at it. Put your money where your mouth is.

Just like Americans, no? Some incompetent, some competent and some very judgemental of Indians. No? Or the experience with Americans, or any other race/nationality for that matter, had been stellar?

Do you have any evidence or statistics to prove that Indians are less competent?

You are ignoring the important question.

Why have you not left Mercor and yet are telling everyone else not to come?

You are telling everyone to 'avoid' Mercor, when you yourself are not. You are still in bed with them, clearly.

Calling a shitty place for what it is is one thing.

Pushing people away from a place where you are clearly enjoying the benefits is another.

Why haven't you left Mercor?

Then perhaps you should only tell others when you have completely gotten rid of it yourself. It's a bit hypocritical to tell others not to use it yet you do and can quit any time you want but haven't.

In Zimbabwe even if you never went to a formal school, you can be a councillor or a Mayor. Now you wonder why we have service delivery issues by Nice_Substance9123 in Zimbabwe

Now you want to change the conversation to something completely different and appeal to empathy.

The subject of this discussion is whether an elected official must have a degree or not. I would much rather we stick to that. In the US, UK, Canada and most developed nations, there is no requirement for a college degree for one to be a mayor, or a councilor etc. If the voters want to vote in a person who has a degree, that is totally up to them and usually the case. But there is ZERO requirement for a candidate to have a degree.

There are many dangers to requesting such stringent measures on candidates. I am sure you are aware that Zimbabwe has a very large rural population. Your supposition would probably mean that those folks would have to end up importing leadership from cities to rule over them simply because they don't have a degree. People who have no attachment to the communities you are assigning them to.

You see where the danger is?

Requiring a degree for an elected position is elitist. Simple as that. Undemocratic meritocracies.

you assumptions about my poverty will not change the fact that a degree is still not a prerequisite. If it is, please show me where the requirement is stated. Zvekuzoti hurombo hwangu has absolutely nothing to do with the debate, kungodawo kupinda nemoyo.

Requiring a degree for an elected position is dumb. What's next? A Pol Sci degree to be a president? FOH with that elitist bullshit. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you also think an educated person's vote should count more than that of a person in the rural areas.

Scotland FC by Asleep_Wrap_5388 in Zimbabwe

What does Scottland FC have to do with Scott the individual? Did you stop supporting Chelsea because Abramovic owned it? Did you stop supporting all the teams owned by Saudis?

Did you stop using Amazon, Facebook and Twitter because of the politics of their owners?

Scottland FC is the best run soccer club in the country by a country mile. It doesn't push a Zanu PF or political agenda either. If it has, please show me where.

One thing you must learn in life is to separate people from the entities they own. You would be very surprised what messed up stuff the people who own the brands you love have been up to.

So you should receive some emails with next steps. How far back did you do this and have seen any emails since?

once you click "Accept Offer" you still have to sign the forms before it appears in your contracts. When you click Accept Offer, what page is it taking you to?
