Not all of them. Just most of them.
This is satire, right ???
Actually, the picture of the worksite ‘managers’ is incorrect. They’re ALL union! The bureaucrats are all back at their offices telesupervising.
simple answer is ...YES
The problem is that government bureaucracies are Jobs Programs. To a large extent, they take unemployable people are give them "jobs" so that they can receive paychecks. Many government acquisitions programs are not about acquiring anything. The schedule doesn't really matter. The cost doesn't really matter. The requirements don't really matter. IT'S THE FUNDING. Will there be jobs? In the right election districts? Will my district get 2000 jobs? Nothing else matters.
Technically, this is not exactly bribery, but it is corrupt and dishonest.
Kaslin,
Been to 49 states and 35 foreignn countries.
Everywhere I’ve gone I’ve asked the locals what they think of their politicians?
Mexico, Bahamas, S. Korea, Japan etc they ALL say their politicians are crooks.
Except for uniformed military, every person that I know that works in government is not worth their salt. Not one is employable outside of government, NOT ONE.
Civil service in most jurisdictions is an extended family, lifetime employment program.
Did you know that if you score too high on a civil service test for the Police, you won’t be hired? They want drones, not thinkers.
Uniformed military is different is so many ways that they should never be considered in the same light. Honor our uniformed military. They preserve the freedom you enjoy.
Even the most skilled, most honest, hardest-working government civilian employee is probably doing a job that increases hassles and costs and reduces freedom, in an agency that shouldn’t exist.
Hell yes it’s why D.C. is the good old boy club honest people get pushed out asap.
Only because crooked politicians don't want honest people working for them. Honest bureaucrats would rat them out or stop their schemes.
If the truth be known they have all committed a felony somewhere down the line to get where they are.
Dishonesty is a huge problem at all levels of bureaucracy. Most of these people realize either going in, or soon after, that bureaucracies mostly exist so that bureaucrats can help themselves to other peoples’ money.
Corruption is a problem. The lower level bureaucrats don’t actively engage in it, but they’re more than happy to turn a blind eye to what their higher-ups are doing to keep the gravy train rolling for all of them.
I have worked closely with state and federal agencies for more than 20 years. Many of them are ideologues, particularly of the environmental or progressive persuasion. In their minds, the ends justify the means.
Such bureaucrats and their many associates dominate in politics, because they have the money and time to do so. They’ve outlawed many important kinds of work through regulations and are driving the economy into the ground—realities of the economy being concealed by continued schemes for using recirculating debt.
would love to see a website that can detail for us the Financial statements of our Reps and Senators before they entered office and what they’re worth now...
