Federal workers = oxymoron in most cases.
A legion of contractors do the real work, the heavy lifting, while the feds attend meetings and play politics. Most taxpayers have no idea that they pay for fed salaries and then pay again for contractors to do their jobs.
Contractors have two problems ~ (1) they never let you know when they’ve broken your computer ~ they just walk away and are never seen again, and (2) they all have problems with math ~ particularly the part about the difference between HOURS and MINUTES. Have to watch them like a hawk to avoid inadvertent overpayment. Not that they lack in honesty, but who let them in this building?
