Your TDS got in the way on this one.

And your cultist adherence doesn't allow you to judge Trump like any other civil servant. Gods can do no wrong.

Only 6% of federal employees work from an office full-time, and a third are fully remote. And some aren’t actually working when they “work from home,” a Senate investigation found.

“Washington is still operating as if it’s March 2020,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), the chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus and the report’s author, wrote.

“Just three percent of the federal workforce teleworked daily prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, six percent of workers report in-person on a full-time basis, while nearly one-third are entirely remote,” the report states.

Government office buildings have an occupancy rate of only 12%, yet the government spends $16 billion a year to operate them. Even the head of the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, works from home in Missouri.

“You may be more likely to see a ghost than a bureaucrat haunting the halls of some government buildings in Washington, D.C. these days,” Ernst continued.

Office buildings are so empty that at the office of the EPA, which is tasked with ensuring clean drinking water, there was dangerous bacteria in its own water because it was stagnant from being used so infrequently.

And here we go. Our federal government is a bloated cesspool of waste. Elon and Vivek ought to have a field day right out of the gate

And some aren’t actually working when they “work from home,” a Senate investigation found.

Well that explains why federal government needs to many people, work isn't getting done so they think there are not enough bodies to do it so they hire more.


I bet if you started requiring nearly 100% of employees to show up each day, you could probably cut the federal work force by 50%

Working from home was the only good thing to come out of COVID. If the work gets done, that's all that matters to me.

The point is the work is getting done with only three or fours hours of effort because the govt workers are given only three or fours hours of work - yet taxpayers are paying them for eight hours of work,

More than likely, but why would that bother you?

More than likely, but why would that bother you?

Because we taxpayers are funding it all, and the government debt is growing every year. We are paying for more employees than we need, possibly twice as many.

But "we taxpayers" number in the 200 million range. At 1/200000000th your cost is negligible.

As I have taught my kids, use your skills again st your employer, find higher paying work and be ready to leave with 2 days notice.

LOL. You’re grasping at major straws. Just because your woke, inflation, trans, 3rd term abortion, Warhawk, pro-illegal-immigration ideology was rejected doesn’t mean you have to throw temper tantrums about it

Not angry, just very, very disappointed. When Trump ran against Hillary he made an awful lot of promises as what he would do, most of which turned out to be imaginary. He is voted out after 4 years and now he is back and, again, has made an awful lot of promises as what he would do this time. I'm willing to bet most will be imaginary. He fooled you once, that was on him, he fooled you twice, that is on you.

Do you agree with his “promises”? And what are they?

The wall? No. In 2016 he promised a healthcare plan we'd all love. In 2024 he has the 'concepts of a plan'. Not much progress in 8 years.
