I said years ago that the insistence on hiring based on affirmative action rather than competency would soon affect all institutions. You see it now in all interactions with both governmental agencies, all public services, and private companies. Those that “can do” things have retired or been pushed out in favor of those that check all the correct boxes.
Much as you now cannot trust your doctor to be competent, you can no longer trust first responding medical personnel to be competent either. All criteria for hiring that previously been based on a person’s experience, knowledge, and ability to do the best job possible, have been replaced by requirements that a new hire be from one of the favored groups.
We will see continued worsening failures in everything from the medical field, infrastructure maintenance, public services, and manufacturing of goods. The failures are going to have a domino effect on our economy as standards are lowered further and further.
