The Shocking Truth About Government Incompetence
(00:00.608)
Government incompetence to infinity and beyond. Yeah, I’m in the process.
moved. Yeah, and I how many people have gone through this? I don’t know. I changed my address, put a change address form. man, well over a month, month and a half ago, letting them know when I was moving. yeah, I got a big box of mail yesterday. Finally. Finally. I almost thought that I was gonna have to actually fly back to New York.
go to the post office to actually claim the stuff myself. That’s just how incompetent everyone has been. That’s about how unhelpful everyone has been. Which is always a blast because when you move you don’t know if you change all the addresses on the myriad of bills that you pay and then you’re getting stuff from health insurance. Well again, I’ve got a stack here on my desk that boy I can’t wait.
to delve into. And this is pretty much across the board with everything, everything. you know, the old comedic, you know, basically, brants and raves in regards to the Department of Motor Vehicles and just how incompetent everything is. mean, an entire day. I had waste an entire day of my life at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Switching license, my wife still hasn’t been changed yet. License plates and everything that goes along with that. For what? I don’t know.
(01:43.64)
I don’t know how many people out there. How many people out there when you were a kid and you knew when you had some bad teacher at some point in time that was giving you homework that you knew was useless. You knew that it was useless. You knew that it was just busy work. Yeah, yeah, again, you ever wonder why you wonder why? you know, why don’t they put your Social Security number? I don’t know, maybe on your passport.
Maybe consolidate all of these IDs that you might need to get a driver’s license, whatever it may be. But this is across the board. And why does this happen? Why does this take place? Well, we have to keep a lot of people in no-show jobs. A lot of people out there that really, really don’t want to be put out when they get up in the morning and they have to go to work. They really don’t want to be bothered.
They just want to show up at work, sit on their ass, maybe play a little solitaire and collect a check, serving really no purpose in life. But they’re government servants. Right. Think about, know, why we have millions, mean, millions and millions of government employees. When I take the federal and you want to take state.
employees at hand. You talk about the waste that we have. It’s actually interesting as well was the fact that story today where actually you’ve got a you got a couple senators. You got Joni Ernst and Gary Peters actually saying, hey, wait a second. All of you government workers there. You might want to get your ass back at the office. Yeah, they basically put this this called the
Telework Transparency Act. Each federal agency is gonna have to lay out its work from home policy and count how many people come into the office. Okay, why, again, that actually passed the Senate Homeland Security Committee 12 to two. I wonder why two didn’t vote for it for crying out loud. Again, the various different department heads, they don’t wanna hear about this because then again, they may get their budget cut.
(04:07.714)
That’s right, they may get their budget cut. You know, the Social Security Administration, you understand that only 7%, 7 % of the office space that they have is occupied at this point in time. The Commerce Department, again, why do we have a Commerce Department? I don’t know. I don’t think conduct any commerce. They add to the GDP? No, no, you have yourself,
a useless job. Again, I go back to great film office space, 1990s, bring in the Bob’s. What exactly do you say you do here? I don’t care. you can say I’m terrible. I mean, I’m nasty. Listen, ladies, people all force them to get jobs that actually, I don’t know, might contribute to the GDP. Yeah. Quarter of the sampled employees.
claim residents in Washington. is a neat trick. Or other pricey cities, yet they don’t live there. The reason being is if they claim that they work there, that they live there, they’re getting paid more even though they might be living in, I don’t know, Boise, Idaho. No, you can’t make this stuff up. Senator Ernst’s cataloged cases of federal employees golfing, taking bubble baths, and even sitting in jail on Uncle
Sam’s time. It’s not Uncle Sam’s time. It’s our time. It’s our time. When I think about our time, do you remember, remember Fast Times at Mid-Tron High with Spicoli? Remember Mr. Hand? Mr. Hand calculated all the time that Spicoli wasted from the class. Again, he had a lot of great lessons in 1980s movies, by the way. Yeah, and met him pay for it in the end.
Again, the Biden administration’s stonewalled attempts to learn to scale the problem. The nonprofit watchdog Open the Books requested location data for federal workers under the Freedom of Information Act. The administration returned a document with 281,000 redactions, making it impossible to know how many workers even claim they’re still in the Capitol. Your tax dollars at work. Again, I know I’m ranting Raven here.
(06:30.672)
I’m glad to see that they’re trying to do a little something. Do I think that anything will actually get done? No, probably not. Have fun at the DMV. Watch Dog on wallstreet.com.
