The legacy of Socialism. Utter and complete waste of human potential and natural resources resulting in unnecessary shortages and misery. A complete denial of the laws of economic supply and demand. Socialism is about fighting the laws of economics and the laws of economics, like the physical laws of gravity, has won every time as seen throughout history right up to the present. Yet history also shows that this denial, in favor of Socialism, has been the usual and persistent state of man.

“The mayor of Menden, where he worked, has expressed his disappointment and said he felt a “considerable pinch of rage” when he saw the email, as the man had not once complained to the staff council about not having enough to do.”

Which says nothing great about the municipal government management skills of the mayor - who should be removed from office while new leadership pursues repayment of what was paid to the slug.

I once went golfing with my brother in Florida. We were paired with two guys we did not know. As per usual, I started chit-chatting with one guy. He was from Connecticut, said he worked for the state in a transportation-related department, and was now retired on a nice pension.

“What did you do there?” I asked.

He looked me straight in the eye, and grinned as he replied, “Nothing.”

The mayor of Menden...... “This kind of behaviour is very telling,” he said, adding that he will not be taking the incident any further.

HA - he doesn't do anything either - lol

Many people 'work' at jobs where the hardest thing they do is waking up and getting to the job.

The only thing 'shocking-lite' about this article is this guy admitted it.

My brother was a state paycheck recipient in a large,Rat-controlled state.He worked there for 10 years in order to get social security (from previous jobs) *and* a juicy state pension and a solid gold,completely free,lifetime,post-retirement health plan.He used to laugh about how little he and those around him did.As one might suspect,yes,he's a democrat (I won't call my own brother a “Rat”).

Ha. The Michigan Department of Motor Vehicles could teach this guy a lot. He should wander into the SOS offices sometimes. He would be stunned.

Working for the New York City Department of Parks as a summer parkman during summer vacation during my high school days completely and permanently cured me of any socialist leanings and respect for civil servants.

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
