Two down and one to go. Yesterday President Trump (what a nice ring to it. President Trump) ended LBJ's 1965 Executive Order that gave us Affirmative Action in U.S. Government.
The federal government’s hiring practices will now be merit-based, with employees being rewarded for “individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work.”
Under Trump’s order, the Office of Management and Budget will “streamline the federal contracting process to enhance speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil rights laws,” a White House fact sheet notes.
Gone are the hiring of incompetents. Now we need to work on eliminating this racist practice in the private sector. I have a dream that the private sector (especially union companies) will no longer hire based on skin color.
