Lol! That pic describes the public works workers around my city. For twenty years we complained about the state of some city-owned trees and planter boxes on our street. The boxes were falling apart from the growth of the trees, which were overgrown and impeding traffic. The concrete was cracked all around them.
So the city sends a crew of five or six guys. One guy started patching the planter boxes, one by one, while the other guys set out cones and more or less walked around doing nothing. This went on for a week, to fix perhaps four trees. And they only trimmed a couple trees, and botched the repair of the planter boxes. Basically one guy working and five goofing off for a week on what should have been a half day job.
It took over 25 years to get some potholes fixed. Why do we pay property taxes?
