It’s all about hiring. Every slothful DMV or TSA or post office worker was hired by someone. There’s no reason for bad hires these days. It’s easy to hire excellence. The resume and interview and careful selections should be enough. And it’s doubly important to hire well and carefully when it comes to government jobs since it’s so difficult to fire feds.
