Examples

  • Unfortunately, often well-paying jobs truly ARE determined by the *elite bestowage*, rather than the actual experience, or those who have learned information on their own cognizance, rather than through some *Certified Bestowal Program*, which is why you have such massive, unrealistic idiots in management positions.
