Definitely ugly guys have it much harder on the job market.
Just another reason why state funded surgery is needed for people with "defects", that make them much less society-able compared with normies.
For example jumbled yellow teeth.
It's usually not the person's fault, some people just innately have a more yellowish base tooth color and some people just innately have more disorderly teeth than others.
Granted SOME people can make up for their teeth with other attributes, but I'm talking about people who don't have this luxury.
At the end of the day, others will still judge those people as more "dirty", and less goal-driven, less successful, and less employable,
than people who have "normal" teeth (somewhat straight, somewhat white. Not necessarily even perfect).
It does not matter, that a person with "ugly" teeth can have perfect hygiene (better than someone with prettier teeth than them) and completely healthy teeth, people will STILL judge them negatively for the appearance of them, especially when people are comparing them to other people.
And the people who have those disadvantages, are they supposed to work for a long time to save up multiple thousands of dollars,
JUST so they can have normal teeth like everyone else?
JUST so they won't be discriminated against anymore?
In my opinion, this is cruel and unfair.
And at the end of the day, it's morally questionable and a bad tradeoff for society to keep ugly people as they are.
Society could invest the money for corrective surgery upfront, or alternatively they can decide that people can stay ugly and rather pay for the mental health cost and potential unemployment...
"Yeah, just let him be ugly... he can work out with his therapist that he feels socially judged and discriminated against on the job market. No need to make him normal"
In my opinion, that is immoral.
It would be nice to have everyone be Chads and Stacies, but at the end of the day, the ones who actually get discriminated against for their looks need it more urgently than people who just don't stand out very much.
For people who do not fit the stigma, it's more of an elective cosmetic procudure, but for those who actually face discrimination, it just makes them able to take part in society as a normal person.
