The government will not hire quality technical staff, since they have quotas and have had special interest groups to satisfy. Jobs certainly do not go to the best qualified people. I applied a few times over the last couple decades and each time was told I would not qualify because I am not in a demographic that is required to fill the position. Apparently discrimination is allowed if you are an educated experienced white male with no visible disability. It also seems that the people who do meet the demographic conditions, know they can't be fired so are allowed to do a crummy job and get away with it. > I'm going to send them an e-mail. > > Tim Brier.
