PC culture has been killing a lot of people lately. Why not just hire the best people to design the bridges or protect the schools?

Simple, of course - we no longer elect people in big enough numbers willing to do what you say. Even when Republicans run Congress, they won’t even consider the idea of merit-based hiring for federally funded programs. It’s not only dangerous, it is DAMN EXPENSIVE...basically a tax on all federal spending, and much, if not most, private spending.
The problem appears to be that no matter how much the people hired to do that work fail at it, they never seem to get fired and replaced.
