Ah, I see what you mean, because NONE of these professional positions
should be allowed to be filled as political appointments.
We're seeing that happen with the current stooges making huge goofs in
full public display:
Firing the nuclear stockpile staff and scrambling to hire them back...
Early-outs to Air Traffic Controllers and scrambling to revoke that...
Sending a former Major to do a Flag's job and watching him drink on the
job and flub the diplomatic mission and scrambling to cover both...

Had several private industry counterparts doing the couch bit for months
too. Plus years earlier, multiple instances of private contractors who
worked at home instead of in our office: being able to offer that
accommodation was not only good for access to their expertise, but it
often was at more affordable consultant rates. Indeed, I can recall on
occasion taking the time to drive out to their home for a meeting,
rather than making them come in to our office, because quite frankly,
their time was more valuable than mine was.
