Down here at the worker bee level where I am, we find these actions absolutely intolerable. They tell us we have to suffer cuts to critical systems and mission essential manpower, then they turn right around and do stuff like this.
Now if that magician could make upper management disappear, it would be money well spent.
And these are the “leaders,” heaven help us!
IMO all travel and meetings by all government employees should be cancelled until further notice. If there is something everyone needs to know, send an email or a fax. The other thing that needs to happen is to immediately cancel all credit cards issued to all government employee. If Congressmen need to visit somewhere just one needs to go and they can come back and report to the rest of the group. All of this is just absolutely ridiculous. They may be morons but they have been getting away with this for a lot of years.
Wow! They made the magician disappear.
Not all government workers are morons.
I are one.
If they need a magician, they could hire Michael Mann. He can make data appear and disappear at his command. He was even able to hide the decline. And if they need a clown, there’s a guy named Hansen who works for NASA.
