My Dad said don’t take it because of politics and you’d be at the will of presidential party. This was during the Nixon administration. I didn’t understand it then but now I get it. Who would want to work for the federal government that takes away worker protections ? You could be fired now if you are registered as a Democrat working in this administration.
