I disagree. Those willing and responsible to do honorable work for what they have are honorable people. Those who are true public servants in government doing the people's necessary work are doing honorable work and are honorable people.

The federal workforce is the equivalent of the Soviet Nomenklatura.
The big difference between the Soviet bureaucracy and the US federal bureaucracy is that a much larger percentage of the federal workforce gets the special benefits that were reserved for top Communist Party members in the Soviet Union.
The Daily Wire's invaluable reporter, Luke Rosiak, reports on the sorry state of the federal workforce and on the Department of Government Efficiency's determination to reform a broken system.
~Snip~
Bureaucrats are so entrenched that many choose not to work at all, finding creative ways to fool the few tools the government uses to ensure that absent employees are actually doing the work they are supposed to.
~Snip~
With a Republican trifecta--control over the House, the Senate, and the presidency, Republicans should be in a position to get rid of public employee unions, but don't count on this happening without a 60-vote majority in the Senate. Not only will Democrats fight and die on this hill--public employees are a key constituency of the Democrats and one of the secrets to their hold on big city politics--but chances are good that some Republicans will work to sabotage any attempt to rein in the power of government workers.
The federal government is the largest employer in the United States, and when you toss in state and local governments about 25 million are government employees, blowing away any employer in the private sector. That's a large chunk of the entire workforce and a powerful political constituency that is tied to other unions and nonprofits, all of whom would mobilize to protect their fellow union members.

Government is perhaps the only industry in which the bosses actively reward inefficiency. Every time a government agency fails to do its job well, Congress rewards it with a higher budget to address the issue. In the private sector, failure usually leads to restructuring; in government, failure leads to larger budgets.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy understand this fact very well. The real question is whether the elephantine bureaucracy can stubbornly wait them out and use inertia to blunt their efforts to prod the agencies into reform.
I don't know who to bet on. Will two of the smartest minds in America win the battle, or the agencies whose specialty is protecting its perks and pay?
Commentary:
David Strom uses the term "Work" when referring to the bureaucrats working from home.
It's no wonder that anything done by the gov't turns into a clusterfuck. We pay these bureaucrats to work every day like the rest of us, but they fail to appear much less do their jobs.
They need to get their fat asses to work!! This should be very easy for Elon and Vivek to get rid of 50% of these lazy asshats!!
Obviously most even when at their desks were not working according to reports of illegal use of federal property accessing Porn sites.
I get it, the SWAMP DISAGREES-)
Let me tell you DISAGREEers, swamp, and swampettes, you are HOSED! The American public has had enough, and you can make pretend all you want, lol. If you actually work and do a service, we support you. If you are scamming the system, better start a-looking.
Hillary, Shifty-Shiff, Chucky-Shmucky, AOC, and the rest of the crew, aren't going to save you! The LONGER you wait to admit the gravy train has ended, the less jobs in the private sector available to you.
Hey dude and dudette----------->if pretending all is well with DOGE coming in is your deal if you are hiding in a government job that is USELESS, then go ahead.......throw your family under the bus. Those that DO THIS, we are NOT surprised at all-)
A bad day fishing is better than a good day working.
I’ve seen so many guys who retire early go to pot physically, I’m convinced a better alternative is to at least work a little PT job while collecting social security
One can stay fit while being retired. Working part time would be very unfulfilling
Of course one can, but when one is used to working 40+ hours a week, suddenly not doing that physical labor leaves a huge void.
It’s easy to say one will fill that void with exercise, harder to do in practice.
Most guys I’ve seen who’ve retired early gain weight, lose muscle and age faster then they would have if they hadn’t retired so early
I guess it depends. When I retired 28 years ago I was cutting wood, keeping hunting cabin up. Hunting, fishing, canoeing, walking, lifting. Never bored nor had any notion of wanting to be productive for any rotten boss.

Average salary at Department of Education is $150,000 for sitting on their brains and working from home to infect the students of America with Marxist ideology. Let's abolish the hell out of the DOE.

NO LINK = NO PROOF = LIES!
Not in the Government. If they TAXPAYERS are happy paying full-time salaries for part-time jobs, that’s what matters.
Or, if you don’t need the income, becoming involved in civic or community organizations is great too. It’s important to remain mentally engaged, socially active, and feel you are still contributing to society.
Because if you have five employees whom you pay $100,000 each for a full-time job, and they work from home and get all their work done by 2 pm, it means you have too many employees.
And that is a waste of money. Duh.
Disagree big time with socially active. Also with being productive. As long as nobody else benefits from my productivity, it's a win. Especially any company or corporation.

You have the mentality of a McDonalds Manager
All that matters is the timeclock
When you hire someone at $100,000 plus you are interested in results.
Whether it takes them one hour or ten hours
Damn, you fed workers are dense. If they consistently finish their work in half a day, they do not have enough work. And the reason they do not have enough work is because the government has so many surplus employees that there isn’t enough work to go around.
And what makes it worse is that taxpayers are paying for all these surplus employees when we are running 2 trillions of dollars in the hole every year.
That’s coming to an end.
And workers demanding higher wages will be increasing...
This is all your and several of the others here fault, who worked for Sam.
