Couple that with standards radically lowered to accommodate the “diversity uber alles” mindset, and you get OODs who can’t con a ship safely. If they were fired for cause a month before the collisions, the COs would have been charged with bigotry etc, so the skippers just cross their fingers and hope a collision (or worse) won’t occur.
