Yes, absolutely. But how does an IQ test help with that? If someone has a low score, you then need to figure out what skill is lacking. That requires another test, no? How is assigning a point score helpful?
I don’t know of any education system that relies on IQ scores, yet they are usually set up to address shortcoming in skill or education. They do this via targeted tests and education programs. I don’t personally see what adding IQ would add.
The only way to create wealth is via work, e.g., income. It’s not a perfect measure, I concede, since wealth is static and can accumulate over time. However, I think we can still use it as a rough estimation of stolen income over time.
However, this source claims there is a 70% gap between wages and produced value. That roughly matches the number I gave.
The top 10% of households hold 67% of all wealth. If we assume that every worker produces roughly the same value, that implies ⅔ of value produced by the average worker is being taken.
Of course, 33% is not 15%, but I’d say it’s roughly in the ballpark. And in certain cases, there are definitely workers who are exploited to that level.
If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don’t think in terms of “one China policy” (like the post’s title implies) but rather in terms of “unification”, as you wrote.
What slogan would you like instead? I think “Defund the police” is probably the most succinct and truthful slogan you could come up with. No matter what political goal you have, summing it up in 3 or so words is never going to give the full picture.
Yes, I agree that communicating clearly is important. But there’s only so much you can do realistically.
