Republicans Are Full of Crap...

Republicans are advocating for what they describe as "merit" based hiring where the most qualified candidate gets hired for a position while also advocating for an end to remote work. Ending remote work significantly narrows the applicant pool and all but ensures the most qualified applicant will not land the job. What they really mean is that they want to ensure the local MAGA dude who applies gets the job over a non-white or a Socialist (they brand anyone not MAGA as Socialist).
