Matthew 6:1. “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”

Well, if the shoe fits....
I mean, I'm not on here saying I want 15M people deported or that government workers are worthless and cannot make it in the private sector? Your post come across as you really not liking people. I know you have made statements to the contrary, but...

“… Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday saying that the department is eliminating the membership of all advisory committees as part of a “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.”
The aviation security committee, which was mandated by Congress after the 1988 PanAm 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, will technically continue to exist but it won’t have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports. Before Tuesday, the group included representatives of all the key groups in the industry — including the airlines and major unions — as well as members of a group associated with the victims of the PanAm 103 bombing. The vast majority of the group’s recommendations were adopted over the years.

Amid a rash of actions to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the federal government, President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a memo that scrutinizes workers with disabilities at the Federal Aviation Administration.
The directive “Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation”said, based on the FAA website, that former President Joe Biden’s administration sought to recruit and hire “individuals with serious infirmities that could impact the execution of their essential life-saving duties.”
The memo directs the FAA “to immediately return to non-discriminatory, merit-based hiring” and rescind DEI initiatives in hiring. Trump also is requiring the agency to review the performance and performance standards of all employees in “critical safety positions” and replace any who fail to show the necessary proficiency with a “high-capability individual.”
FAA employees with disabilities targeted by Trump's anti-DEI push
Despite current policy, the FAA during Trump’s first administration actively sought to recruit workers with disabilities.

“… “The Biden FAA specifically recruited and hired individuals with ‘severe intellectual’ disabilities, psychiatric issues and complete paralysis over other individuals who sought to work for the FAA,” an accompanying White House fact sheet said.
During Trump’s first administration, however, FAA conducted similar initiatives to recruit and hire people with disabilities.
Shortly after a door blew out on a plane in January 2024, Fox News published an article headlined “FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities.”
The original article seems to have been taken down (although a similar article is still up on its website), but it was republished by the New York Post and shared on social media at the time by Elon Musk, the leader of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency.
The fact-checking website Snopes, however, pointed out that the language from the FAA’s website that Fox News highlighted, which discusses hiring of people with targeted disabilities, was present for all of Trump’s first term and had been published as early as 2013.
Targeted disabilities are generally manifest, such as deafness, blindness, significant mobility impairments and intellectual disabilities.
“The implication that the policy is new, or that it stems from efforts that began under U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and President Biden, was demonstrably false,” Snopes investigative journalist Alex Kasprak wrote.
… Additionally, during Trump’s first term, FAA launched a pilot program in 2019 to enroll up to 20 people with disabilities in training for careers in air traffic operations. …”
