Federal workers are frustrated. Some feel better shouting from an I-95 overpass at rush hour.

Workers and their families are finding catharsis at the Gorman Road overpass, a hot spot in Howard County for political messaging....

This is an unintentionally hilarious article.

I will give some more detail in my next post.

Why weren’t they heaving chunks of concrete at Teslas driving by? I’m surprised.

First of all go halfway down the article and look at the picture of the old time leftist with the shirt that says:
“College for all. Medicare for all. Jobs for all. Justice for all.”

Yeah—except for the “all” of us who have to pay the taxes to make all that stuff happen....

Lol.

Then there is this:

“her son works for a federal contractor. Her son called her recently and said he was directed to remove the word “equity” from his work. The story disturbed Emily, who is white and said her husband and children are Black.”

Enjoy!

They can’t be bothered to show up for work at the office, but they can show up to yell from overpasses.

[Tell It Right]

The federal government directly employs one in 10 of the state’s workers, about 325,000 people.

Enlightening.

Were they frustrated, because they were expected to work?

When I was younger, whenever we (my buds) would see a group of workers working inefficiently or stupidly or not at all, somebody would say, "Looks like a govt operation."

We had no idea how true that statement is.

Think about the psychology of this. Something bad has happened to me. I must complain to the world (could be daddy or authority figure) so everyone knows how unhappy I am, and they’ll change the situation for me.

Contrast every time I got laid off. Create a resume. Hit the phones to contact everyone in my network. Send out resumes. Only once when it was particularly egregious, and nasty did I contact a lawyer. He told me, “If you were black or female, I’d take this in a heartbeat. The government pays the bill, and the company will settle because they’re essentially fighting the government. But you’re a white male. Yes, what they did is illegal...actually downright nasty and damaging. You’ll pay my bills, and they’ll simply run you out of money.”

That’s the difference between the white male working world and the black/female/government working world. They’re shouting, “I’ve been unfairly treated, and YOU must do something about it.”

Federal workers are frustrated?

So are the taxpayers who are f0rced to pay their inflated salaries.

[gundog]

No pallet of USAID-paid-for bricks was delivered.

[Vision]

Acting like morons.

[sit-rep]

I think they would feel even more better if they just jumped off...

Bureaucracy Kills: A Lesson from Rome

A tree trimming company was working in the neighborhood last week. I was driving by and rolled my window down and counted six men standing around one pickup truck. I asked them if it was government job. I said there is one guy down there in the front truck, is it his day to work? five of them started laughing, one started to get his feathers ruffled but he calmed down.

[cgbg]

I plead guilty.

I thought crazies proving they were crazy on a bridge over I-95 in Baltimore was breaking news.

Lol.

[hardspunned]

You nailed it.

Like the Grandpa Simpson meme of him shouting at a cloud there should be one of of Federal workers shouting at traffic.
