      And you’ll be the first to criticize the government for not doing this or that. Private industry should have a complete Audit to find out why they pay next to nothing in taxes because of sweetheart deals made at the federal state and local level. Federal WORKERS are not the problem. Lobbyists and politician grifters who only work on culture war BS are the problem. You like how things turned out when 45 was running things from Russia?

      Top 1% of earners (who are generally top-level management or owners of businesses) pay more than HALF of all taxes. 47% of lowest income people pay NO TAXES at all.
      While doing this, private industry produces everything necessary for the society and people to live, from food to porn ;) while government mostly produces PITA.

      It's rather funny that you say this. I worked as a contractor for the government. When I hired in there was no time clock. You basically filled out a form at the end of the week to record your hours. In which most cases I would just write 8 hours for the 5 days and call it good. Then they installed time clocks, and hired some time keeper personnel for the 1500 time cards... They quickly found out that a lot of people that were saying 8 hours each day were working 8 1/2 to 9 hours a day across the whole company. So now they had to pay for that extra 30 mins to 60 mins of work that most would have forgotten or blown off. All of a sudden payroll cost went up a whole lot. To the point where they threatened the employees to not punch in early on the time clock when you arrive. Everyone ignored it, and kept punching the time clock as normal. About six months later they took the time cards out again.

    When I was in charge of purchasing in a business, years ago, and we went through a period of low sales and incoming revenue, I came across a statement that I utilized often when dealing with department heads and other employees wanting more whatever. It went something like this:
    "Use it up; wear it out; make it do; or do without!"
    Every branch of government needs to implement that principle as long as we have a national debt!
    I remember when the Supreme Court operated in the basement of the Congressional building before a building was built for them (not that I was alive back then).
    Government does not need marble "temples" to function.
    It seems to me that the more elaborate buildings we build for government, the less affordable homes become for the average citizen, and the arrogant government becomes.

      @@bgbgbg123 there's no good reason to continue avoiding answering his question. Are they hiding something? Are they ashamed of not being in the office?
      They ARE asking for more money even though they aren't in the office most of the time. Are offices overrated? They might be and an argument can certainly be made about that.
      But not giving a straight answer shows intentional deception. If you can't trust the people asking for money, why would you give them any?

    Wow! I’ve never stopped going into work since the start of the pandemic. Why should I pay taxes for these phonies to be paid to do nothing!!!!!

    Finally, someone asking the right questions.
    As a tax payer I truly appreciate what you are trying to get accomplished.
    Truthfully I believe if you’re not working you shouldn’t be paid.
    I must clock in and out to prove hours worked then I compensate for only those hours.
    A government position must be fantastic. Where do I sign up for a government job?

    During covid doctor Lewinsky said that only a few in her office had been coming in. And that she was going to try to see if she could get more people in the office towards the end of the pandemic. This is a horrible waste of money if people are getting paid for not showing up. It sets a bad precedent

      many knowledge workers can work remotely. Just because they aren't in the office, doesn't mean they aren't analyzing data, having meetings, preparing reports, etc.

      Truth is most don't perform as Well at home left as there own boss in Charge.
      Pretending it's an effective & efficient way to preform most work for a large portion of Workers is not Logical in Reality.

    When it comes to bureaucrats and government employees, I can guarantee you, as I was one, more is far less. I've never seen such abuse to the tax paying hoards....
    They hire four people to do the work of one. Across the board.

    I personally have been physically in the office at my place of work EVERY DAY for the last 44 years that i wasn't on vacation. I was at home for 1 day with a back spasm though in that time period. I did not die, I did not cause anyone else to die. From what I understand a counterpart in the same industry but in the public sector did not step foot in his office for over a year after the COVID "emergency".

    Very disheartening to see such senior directors and supervisors lie through their teeth. Their duplicity is both infuriating and repulsive.
