Yeah that’s a little over the top but in my experience both in and out of government the 80/20 rule applies. Most people are just clocking time. The good ones get a lot of the work done.

“Most Americans think government workers are competent and should be nonpartisan, according to recent surveys”. Who are they surveying?

One surprising thing I learned from the video...

I thought that if people understood logical fallacies that would help them avoid logical fallacies in their arguments.

Apparently all it does is help them identify the logical fallacies of others.

Lol.

I beg to differ. Most government workers are lazy slackers, possibly competent, but probably not.
Doge 75% of them.

"Most people are just clocking time. The good ones get a lot of the work done."

I've experienced that a lot in my time.

Some go out in the field, make a few mistakes, miscalculation and errors in judgement. Others set about the shop and talk about what fine Instrument men they are.

You can get a little dirty when you put your shoulder to the wheel, but it comes with a lot self gratification.. :)

Bingo. I met and worked with people in the private sector that were miles above public servants.

The neutrality of government employees might have been a possibility before the Clintons and Obamas. But the Clinton staff stealing all the W keys from White House computers should have given us some insight into the juvenile behavior that had happened behind closed doors. And Obama added 11,000 government employees right off the bat.

Most government employees are arrogant slackers who are fully focused on their retirement benefits.
