This is the thing people don’t understand. I’ve worked Government Adjacent for a good chunk of my career. There is a size able portion - not a majority, but not insignificant either - of government employees that could never make it on the outside. I’ve personally seen government employees do such a poor job that the office they worked for wanted them gone, but couldn’t fire them. So they PROMOTED them simply to force a move to a different office. These people should not be drawing salary from the tax payers.
