As The New York Times reported Thursday:
The Trump administration is preparing to lower the recruitment standards for F.B.I. agents, eliciting alarm from many agents who worry that the move will undermine the agencys primary mission of conducting complex investigations and tracking threats to national security. Under a plan pushed by the director, Kash Patel, and his deputy, Dan Bongino, the F.B.I. will start welcoming new classes of recruits who will receive less training and no longer be required to have a college degree, according to people familiar with the plan who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it. The shift comes as the agency anticipates losing more than 5,000 employees by September, largely as a result of agents, analysts and others taking severance or early retirement packages offered by the Trump administration to try to reduce the budget.

Do folks realize Women couldn't get credit or bank accounts until around 50 years ago?
Before 1974 they needed their husbands permission. Allegedly single Women and Widows could, but they had to prove it.
Someone reading my post should start a thread on this ECOA Equal Credit Opportunity Act
I am unwilling to navigate the attacks if I do it.
