Merit-Based Hiring Is Back; Investigators Now Being Investigated

Merit-based hiring is making a comeback. The federal government has now officially dropped a policy going back over 40 years, which until now held that tests to ensure government employees were qualified for their jobs were racist. The shift in policy aims to ensure the government is now hiring based on skill.

And in other news, a Special Counsel has now been opened to investigate former Special Counsel Jack Smith. This happens as the Trump administration moves to investigate key figures involved in the disproven Trump-Russia narrative going back to the 2016 election.

We’ll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.
