At least at the local level! No less than 5 guys, two brand new trucks with nice trailers. They've been right there for 45 minutes, watching the one guy weed eat!

I don't see anyone with a clipboard.
They're unsupervised. They could get more done if a supervisor was there.

Most of the people I know whose jobs have little to no inherent value as related to the economy work for the government and are paid far more than they’re worth.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Worse than worthless. At least worthless doesn't cost anything.

They're unsupervised. They could get more done if a supervisor was there. Sitting in passenger side seat, Chebby That is NOT the way we were taught in gooberment employee school. Supervisor is to be out, clipboard in hand, hard hat on, pencil at the ready to write someone up for not setting the parking brake, holding the weedeater improperly, failing to fill out the pre work safety check out sheet, having an empty Igloo water jug on the back of the truck, etc. Notice I said "pencil at the ready", not writing. Appearances must be upheld when the public drives by. Under no circumstances are violations actually to be recorded as that would require even more paperwork.

Friend of mine in Fort Walton Beach video'd city workers painting parking lot lines at boat ramp near his house , 4-7 of them would get one line painted per hour . They spent the week out there . Took his video to City Hall - they couldn't care less what a taxpayer thinks/wants .

Someone has to hire people like Calledumb and Suckermore to test the schiett in sewage treatment plants.

Three weeks ago I sat at the Amoco gas station in Franklin WV for 5 hours waiting on my first WV building crew and building... more about that story is irrelevant.
While I sat there parked at the corner of 33 and 220 I watched vehicles come and go (for fuel, ham biscuits, lunch, beer and soda et al) and observed no less than $6 million in vehicles come and go (.Gov vehicles, State and County vehicles, BRAND NEW D.O.T. service, bucket and dump trucks etc.). I consider monopoly utility companies to also be an extension of .GOV (i.e. we have NO CHOICE so therefore they count as .GOV... in my estimation).
It was simply amazing... ALL OF THAT GOVERNMENT... all of that waste...
I also observed a few hundred private citizen WV cars and trucks... many beaters, some nicer stuff... but overall well under 10% of the $$$ count I was doing.
Crazy times... crazy crazy times.
Good thing I don't have to pay for this waste... but I do feel sorry for the kids and grandkids that will have to.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
