Notably, in an organization like the FAA there used to be places for "mail boys with Down's syndrome"
Due to automation, a lot less of those jobs exist that actually can be usefully done by people with those disabilities. Secondly, part of DEI has been a demand for salary equality. The "mail boy" is a job that was worth a lot less salary than your actual key employees. Demanding equality in salaries messes everything up by forcing hiring to hire unqualified people to jobs they can't do to meet diversity targets.
