They spoils system was replaced by the civil service system, who many think is exactly the opposite of a merit based system of employment. If it was merit based, we wouldn’t have such sh*tty service from our civil overlords. I can’t wait to see Musk dismiss 80% of the federal workforce. The tears and crying and wining will be priceless. They should feel the dread after making us feel the dread of the dead hand of the state for so long. I love the “Garbageman” theme that DJT made and used. Garbagemen get rid of trash!
