Y'all laugh, but if he's literate he's beyond half of all Americans. If he can work a computer, and Office to boot!, he's beyond the remaining half.

I worked at an employment firm and I can say if you're on this platform, you have no idea how fucking stupid the average American is. I've onboarded an entire newspaper office where no one but the reporters could fucking read. Literally to illiterate to follow simplified text directions. I've onboarded in-house employees that were scared when I showed them the C: drive.

I'm not trying to joke. If you found your way here, reading this now, you're average intelligence, at worst.

People are laughing about the fact that this is obviously a template that didn't get filled out properly by either a bot or an incompetent person, not the suggested skill list mentioned in the template.

Yeah... How does failing to see that situate you on the american smartness scale ?
