5. In many cases

you have whole groups of people - notably POC - where "private industry" will NOT hire them. Period. Regardless of any EEO "laws" that are now being systematically dismantled.

People usually put up with a lot before choosing to leave and in this case, something like the NPS was never a "politicized" entity (versus the federal agency I used to work for). In fact, IIRC, it was often known as the "best place to work", because those who chose to work there (at least outside of the administrative staff) tended to embrace the outdoors and anything needed to enhance and preserve it.

So more and more "under the radar" agencies like the NPS, are getting impacted by and are dying from, the parasitic infection known as "the 45 administration".
