Why not hire based on attractiveness and promote based on blowjobs? This is reality and how the world works.

... alternatively, we could strive to make the world a better place.

That’s perfectly fine, imo?

There’s clearly a disadvantage to not having any meritocratic considerations during the hiring process and it will eventually come back to bite the hiring company. That said, everyone has free will and should be completely free to hire whomever they want for whatever reasons they want.

Nah, we have laws to protect us from people like you. Society is better off, whether or not you can see that.
