I have long advocated requiring every government worker whose job enables him to telecommute to do so.
The next step it to outsource their jobs to India.
The unions and government has always had of people on the payroll who didn’t work (usu. corruption and kickbacks). These people would have to show up occasionally to collect their checks or if there were time card audits. Now they can jam millions into these “Non-Jobs” and say they are working from home.
