Video of 14 CBP Agents Moving a Log 15 Feet Is Exactly Why We Need Trump's Gov’t Efficiency Commission

Government efficiency at its finest. Similar to a turn of the century bucket brigade.

There are modern inventions such as a wheelbarrow. You can find them at Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Damn, with all those people they could at least have split and stacked it for the coming winter.

multiple that times 1000 logs and it is the most efficient way to do it.

would take far longer to load a wheelbarrow, push it over uneven ground and then dump it and walk back.

Nonsense. I’ve watched tree services take down two trees in my yard that were pulling on utility wires and strangely, they used wheelbarrows to move cut sections of logs.

 

[BULLDOG]

Somebody thought it would be a good way to demonstrate them helping in disaster recovery. it was a goofy idea. I promise you they moved that one log, and then went back to what they had been doing.

Evidently you have never seen a well lead Hispanic tree crew in action!

Actually I have, twice. They started by having one fellow climbing halfway up the tree with a rope just above where the first cut was to be made. Eight people tugged on the other end of the rope after a notch was cut in the tree trunk, thus dropping the tree in a safe place. Next came the chainsaw crews and the wheelbarrows.

Yep, those climbers are something to watch!

If I go 15 feet up a ladder to wash windows… well I just can’t. I’m afraid of a shaky aluminum extension ladder that high up.

I had leaf filter (tm) installed.....No roofs for me anymore.

Baloney.

Imagine 14 chain saws and 14 wheelbarrows all dong the same thing at the same time.

You are assuming they have 14 chainsaws and 14 wheelbarrows available for them.

Way back when I was a young LCpl in the Marines we had a private jet need to make an emergency landing at MCAS Beaufort. Once it landed we made it shutdown at the far end of the runway. Turns out their battery caught on fire. Being an FA-18 base we did not have a tow bar that fit that plane. As the higher ups were trying to figure out how to get one the CFR guys tied a big ass rope to the front landing gear and 12 of them pulled the plane to the hanger where it could be repaired. Moral of the story sometimes you just have to make do with what you have.

They are border patrol agents volunteering to help with the clean up, and you people are attacking them just to make a few points in a political forum.

******* sad,

Each wheelbarrow trip would take about the time the bucket brigade took to move one log. Each wheelbarrow load could carry ten to a dozen logs. Instead of fifteen men making thirty or forty bucks an hour, the job would be done by three or four minimum wage guys in less time. And that wasn’t uneven ground, it was a residential lawn. An even more efficient way would be to back a truck right up to the downed tree and throw the logs right in as they were cut.

 

[para bellum]

I'm trying to figure out why they were doing it at all. If a tree falls on my property can I call the feds to deal with it?

Or will they tell me to call a tree service?

Is that the mayor's house or something?

I don't see any hurricane damage to the neighboring houses, no debris on the ground, the house was not flooded. So maybe the wind blew a tree down, that happens all the time.

Weird.
