The Federal Aviation Administration now says that the way to make the skies safer is to make their workforce more diverse, including hiring people with “severe” intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disabilities. No, this is not satire; see below, via Fox News:
FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities
The FAA says people with ‘severe’ disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the federal workforce.
The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer "severe intellectual" disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.
‘Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,’ the FAA’s website states. ‘They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.’
The initiative is part of the FAA’s ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ hiring plan, which claims ‘diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.; The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.
Heaven forbid that the government should focus their hiring on people that are smart, have experience, and who are not in need of a psychiatrist.
This astounding statement and focus by the FAA made me understand what is wrong with so much of the Biden administration: It’s full of people who lack the mental capacity to handle their job.
The Defense secretary, and the rest of the war cabinet, apparently doesn’t have enough intellectual capacity to know that you should inform someone, especially the president, when you are going to be out, especially if that “out” means incapacitated...

That he would see those on a display rack and pay actual money for them?
There is a lesson there...
“McNamara’s 100,000” of the 1960s updated.
The FAA is simply seeking parity with the rest of the Federal government.
Reminds me of one of my dear cousins … she had some very different looking glasses on and I asked, Are those new glasses? She said, You’re the only one who’s said anything about them. They must look bad. 🥲
She then mentioned that she’d had her sis (ultra libtard), on FaceTime, while selecting the new frames. I said, Next time, FaceTime with me. 😂
Are we real sure that there’s not already too much diversity in that area?
Perhaps people with these problems are needed to help determine the specific travel problems and needs of persons with specific disabilities. If they are serving as informers for studies of these traveler’s specific problems it might make sense. Some certainly would not be suitable for planning and control jobs. On the other hand, dwarfism or missing limbs might not preclude doing certain mental jobs.
