🏛️OPM resurrects Schedule F stripping protections from career workforce

Social Security processing, food safety inspections, air traffic control, and veterans' healthcare face dangerous understaffing when institutional knowledge disappears. Americans experience longer wait times, reduced service quality, and safety risks while taxpayers continue paying for government services that become increasingly unreliable and ineffective.

Public sector employment changes establish patterns that spread to private industry when worker protections disappear and political loyalty replaces professional qualifications. Labor unions lose negotiating power while employees in all sectors face reduced job security, lower wages, and political retaliation for professional disagreements with management preferences.

Training new employees, hiring contractors, and rebuilding institutional capacity costs more than retaining experienced workers while delivering inferior results. Americans pay premium prices for government services while receiving dramatically reduced quality from inexperienced staff who lack the expertise to handle complex policy implementation and service delivery.

Career professionals who ensure laws are followed properly get replaced by individuals focused on political loyalty rather than legal compliance. Constitutional checks and balances disappear when government agencies serve presidential preferences rather than implementing congressional legislation and constitutional requirements through professional expertise and institutional knowledge.
