“When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line?"

[hjmick]

These words were uttered by VA Secretary Bob McDonald when answering a question about wait times at the VA, you remember, the controversy that led to him getting the job. The full quote, for context, doesn't really help Bob...

“The days to an appointment is really not what we should be measuring, we should be measuring the veterans’ satisfaction,” he said. “When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? What’s important? What’s important is: what’s your satisfaction with the experience?”

I think I understand what he was trying to say, I guess... But really? Disney? Not to mention that every veteran I know doesn't seem to have ever described a good experience with the VA. And I know I've never had a good experience at a Disney theme park...

I have a feeling Bob will be walking this one back before too long.

Yes they do....then they say "have an exciting day". Which is code for GFY...pretty much like the VA.

You would think he could have come up with a better comparison?

how about,,,when you go to Disney, do you need to pull out a credit card when buying a 15.00 cheeseburger?

It is scary that such retarded douchebags and qu33rs are so prevalent in the Obama Administration. The Donald has a lot of work ahead of him just to fire the layers of shit so embedded in government.

The asshole should be fired, but you just can't get rid of a government employee. They're like ticks.

why? what was wrong with what he said? what makes you think it's not just wrong but fireable?

 

[The Rabbi]

And worst of all, he is wrong. And wrong in a way that highlights the issue.
Yes, Disney does indeed track wait times. Not only that, you can download an app there that tells you the wait times for different rides.
That is the difference between capitalism (Disney) and socialism (the VA). Capitalism prospers by serving its customers, socialism prospers by enslaving its customers.
