/liberty/ - Liberty

Is it really most? If it is, then where? Before making a statement like that some proof would be in order, or else we're just ranting.

Even if it were so, that's not really our business to butt in. If I'm to focus on "solving" anything, it wouldn't be optimal employment. It's better to promote entrepreneurship and small business, which is in itself a cure for bad business. Maybe not under a regulatory lobbying system, but it's not my job to make Democracy work.

I can't give you proof but the human resource department in my company proceeds in exactly the way described.

Also, by saying "liberty", I was addressing proponents of libertarianism, not implying that this board should do something about it. However, your comment about us having no business butting in sounds like we should be looking away from corruption in general. Because that's what nepotism is.

widespread defooing lmao

That too. Just because you're giving the position to someone you know it doesn't mean they can't do a good job at it. It's easier to employ someone you know at least a bit.

> Not really, if I have a business and I'd rather my son take up a certain position in it because I know he's capable and that I want to see to it that he has a guaranteed job then that's my right. To imply that this is somehow corruption is to imply that I somehow have some sort of inherent duty towards anyone else (which I don't) or that my business is somehow not committing a function that it's not meant to do (which it isn't).

This is exactly what every Eastern European politician/tycoon is using as an excuse to hand out 200 government jobs to his brothers, sons, cousins and nephews.

How is that relevant outside politics?

>>71129

There is no such thing as "outside politics" when serious money is involved .

>>71128

The difference being one is my business, made with my own investments and my own property, while the other (government) shouldn't even exist to begin with along with it's various 200 jobs

You might find out you're talking to Anarchists most of the time. Rarely is anybody here defending the State or arguing within its conditions in favor of something other than taking it down.

We have no reason to care what people do with their private property as long as it does not infringe on someone else's private property rights. Government has no money and takes no responsibility for its actions. It makes no difference whether it was someone's nephew or a completely unrelated person. Nothing can and never will legitimize the very existence of the position. We're not even going to begin attempting to fix a fundamentally broken system.

I've gotten every job I've had from just putting in an application so either you're wrong or I'm very lucky.

Highly nepotistic organizations get outcompeted by more functional meritocracies. Unless someone's idea of nepotism really is meritocratic, in which case hey, it lives as long as they do.

>most jobs

Hold on there m8. Before we talk about anything else, it's on you to prove this.

>>71122

>I can't give you proof but the human resource department in my company proceeds in exactly the way described.

Is it a legitimate company, or nominally privatized state business? Because only in the former case do we have reason to care. And in that case, the question would be how it manages to stay in business. Apparently, it makes a profit by just hiring everyone's cousin, so… where exactly is the problem?

>>71123

Also this.

>>71153

And this.
