Trump blames diversity hiring for Washington plane crash that killed 67
Donald Trump has blamed a diversity hiring spree for causing the deadly crash between a military helicopter and a passenger plane that killed 67 people in Washington DC.
This is not a comment on this horrific disaster, but it reminds me of an interesting article I read a few years ago. I don't have a link either, so it's merely an anecdote which may have no bearing on this particular accident.
The article was by an FAA insider. It went into specific details about problems with DEI hiring policies for air traffic control staff, saying that these policies would eventually lead to a major accident.

There have been similar musings about diversity hires at companies like Boeing.
The fact is though, any company that hires on the basis of diversity rather than merit, lowers the quality of it's workforce. It's just more dangerous for companies and entities that are responsible for the fragile safety of many people
Caveats are duly noted, but it has at least the ring of plausibility. Diversity hires in government have led us to a situation which could kill many more, albeit slowly and less dramatically.

And James Higham has more on the DEI aspect of this tragedy:

Bucko - yes, anything but experience and merit is to invite problems or worse. It's so obvious too, if you don't go for the best you won't get the best.
Sam - it does have the ring of plausibility, Trump wasn't just making it up.
Dave - yes, it's not new and they can't say they weren't warned.
