25. Nothing against attractive people, but
Wed Jul 6, 2022, 10:02 AM

Society has placed a bigger emphasis on looks than ever. From local newscasters, to hospitality jobs, to musicians, looks is trumping talent too often.

And the Trump White House is a great example of that. Trump values looks over ability and character, almost every time.

When I watch the local news, it's uncanny, the FOX affiliate is just filled with young striking women, who can barely read the news half the time. It's comical how bad they are at reading their teleprompters at times. The NBC affiliate is full of older and more seasoned news people who just know what they're doing and sound professional. You can guess which one gets better ratings.

I travel for work, and hospitality jobs now are based on looks it seems. Any decent hotel has extremely attractive people working the front desks.

And the music industry is now just mostly models that the record companies have assembled into bands they can brand and market effectively.

Sure, some people have it all, looks and talent, but it's way slanted towards the looks department right now.
