I work for a PMA and as such my agency has undergone drastic layoffs and total hiring freezes as a result of DOGE and the current administration. If we were falling behind before, wait and see how things look in a few more years if this doesn’t change. The avg age of my coworkers is probably late 50s and that seems to be common all around. It was already hard to recruit for a job that is severely underpaid can’t imagine what the future holds.

Of course Heritage Foundation has been publishing articles about why our power markets need to be privatized since at least the 80s. They hate that we sell electric at-cost to Americans. So if the federally controlled power markets fall to privatization expect to really be paying to catch up.
