otherwise fixated on youth, what explains the dominance of so many old folks in
the presidential race? A few longtime operatives weigh in. – GREG HINZ
(DIERSEN: Hinz should write a book about political affiliation discrimination,
reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the
aforesaid in the federal government. The Democrats who run the federal
government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out,
subjectivity in their job assignment, performance expectation setting,
performance appraisal systems, etc. to waste the careers of and to get rid of
federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they
do not promote to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently
$119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive
Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make
the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
