Most government employees are lazy and don’t want to do anything. I had to deal with government entities for over 30 years and most are just there in body only.
Their favorite response is “Its not my job” and if you ask them who can help you, they say they don’t know who to send you to.
If I did that in my job I would have been fired immediately.

Hunt then down, charge them with fraud, convict them, jail them, and fire them.

Those who engaged in fraud should be easy to track down by simply comparing paychecks and "unemployment" checks for the same period.

But this is the government, and the two systems probably use different OS' and data format that will make such comparisons impossible.

They didn’t work, but got paid.

Ha! My employer sent me home to work. Then I had to buy a computer, software and pay out of pocket for all that ... including IT support.

In addition, I got slammed with work that other people were being paid to do... so I asked if I could be compensated and the answer was NO. That's when I retired

I was planning to work longer but that ‘no class’ solution to THEIR problem really put me off

Yes, our taxes are used to pay pimps, whores, retards and addicts. And that's just the crew in the White House.

What else is new?

This is theft. They should be charged accordingly.

This varies greatly from Federal agency to agency. But at least half of Federal employees are working from home. Meaning they are doing jack shiit and nothing useful.
Its the biggest scam ever.

You can kinda sorta half-ass maintain when your employees are working from home. But in a crisis or difficult situation, the Federal agency will fail. This happened during the baby formula crisis and shortage.

You think Trans Secretary ButtPlug ever physically reports to work in Washington, DC? Very rarely. He sits on his ass and rotates... at home of course.

I read on the Washington Post main web page that downtown DC still has depressed activity. Downtown DC has a mix of private and public employers.

Most people don’t have enough self-discipline to work diligently from home.

Our Government is too big, our government is awash in money, our government is wasting billions.

Solution, reduce the size of government massively, cut taxes significantly.

I hate my Government, The more these Bastard Democrats are in charge the more I hate them. They are nothing but thieves and take everything they can from the working man.

Fire and prosecute every last one, without replacing any of them either.

That’ll at least be a good start.

What does working from home have to do with responding to a crisis that your own agency created?
