There is a well-documented principle that says the square root of the number of people in any organization does 50% of the work. 100 people, 10 do half. 10000 people, 100 workers.

The bigger the organization, the less people at the top of the productivity.

I worked at IBM Research for 10 years, husband for 20. I was surrounded by those people.

Is there anything we can do to prevent tens of thousands of ex-government employees with no discernible skills from invading our cities as they escape their homeland??? They won’t be able to compete with the Central American immigrants already here, so they’ll just be a drag on our city services!

It’s going to be beautiful. The standard hackneyed pushback from the existing structure is starting to be regurgitated. The existing time servers will be used up.

Yes. From what I have seen in my close association with parts of the federal government is that plenty of people stand up and say “I can help!” and the standard answer is — “Sit down. No one asked for help. We don’t want your help. We’re not here to fix anything. Shut up.”

It’s just a whole different ballgame if you have people at the top announcing, “We’re gonna fix stuff”.

Because then plenty of people stand up and say “I can help!” and those people will move heaven and earth.

Gentlemen:

See that bookshelf over there. Those are the operating rules for us. It took me 30 years to be confident I would not run afoul of the rules in a noticeable fashion.

I love it. I'm often a team member for actions of this type. I referred to it as a SWAT team inside my business environment. At age 68 with a rough year fighting cancer, I will enjoy this as a spectator.

Maybe they can go to work building the wall.
