"...No union ever agreed with layoffs, unless it was the last thing that could keep a business open..."

Not EVEN then. Not when an evil capitalist country closing its doors because it can't afford to stay open would be lost for demagoguery purposes...

I know a Federal worker who works at a Marine Corps base as a civilian, and trust me he hardly ever works.
I asked him if it was alright to come on the base, and he said no problem he would give me a tour. States how hard he works and yet seems to finish at 12 on a Friday , if he even works on a Friday, and then he and his wife go off and visit another city for the weekend.
He gets paid just over 90 grand a year!!!

That’s par for the course for typical gov worker, although 90 grand is a little low.

He’ll retire with 100 grand for 30 years.

You and I will be digging ditches till we drop.

Here's the solution.

Currently death rows are bursting at capacity. Now is the time to fast track executions. Remove all obstacles to justice by appointing special "appeals panels" of judges appointed just for this purpose.

This would be the court of last appeal. No continuances, and no postponements. Set a two months hard limit on the process. Then proceed with "clean-up".

Justice delayed is justice denied. Clean-out death rows and the under-staffing "problem" is solved.

Save a bundle by hiring the prisoners to guard each other.
Give them a pack a smokes a day and extra bread and water if no one escapes.
