Amazingly Dumb

 The Biden administration revoked the veterans' hiring preference for civil service jobs.

Many years ago, I reviewed civil rights laws in a variety of nations. Laws giving preferences to veterans were among the most common.

I also recall talking with a senior EEOC investigator during the Carter administration when there were rumors of such a change. He said that the word from EEOC headquarters was that there was no way the preference would be dropped because it would trigger an adverse reaction from Congress.

I expect the preference will be restored in late January.
