The end of civilization will be Televised
Last week I had 30 boxes of files to move out of my basement. My wife helped me; it took us about 30 minutes to carry them all out of the basement and stack them neatly in a trailer in the driveway. By government efficiency standards what my wife and I accomplished was statistically impossible. The same day that my wife and I accomplished this remarkable (by government standards) feat it took 30 FBI agents 9.5 hours to carry 20 file boxes out of President Trump’s residence.
This is a great example of private sector efficiency vs government efficiency. My wife and I each carried and stowed 1 box every 2 minutes. Each FBI agent carried one box every 855 minutes. My wife and I were 427.5 times more efficient as the FBI. Not only that our quality control was off the charts. We never put a single thing in to the trailer that did not belong in the trailer. The same cannot be said about the 30 FBI agents.
Apparently no one in the FBI was able to read the warrant. That is probably why they rifled through Melania Trump’s underwear drawer looking for file boxes. File boxes they had previously inspected and knew the exact location of prior to the raid. On television FBI agents all have college degrees. In reality that cannot be true because not a single one of the agents could have possessed a literacy level beyond middle school.
If they had degrees they must have all been gender studies degrees which could explain why things took so long. They were probably quite confused why Melania’s underwear looked different than Donald’s. The confusion, and heated underwear debate it spawned, would definitely interrupt the work flow.
If I was in charge of doing something as unprecedented as harassing a former president I would have assigned only my best and brightest. If this group of Keystone cops is the best and brightest the FBI has to offer then all of the TV programs are out to lunch. On TV the FBI always finds the bad guy. This group of morons took 9.5 hours to find boxes they already knew the location of.
Great empires always fall from within; corruption and incompetence always accomplishes what armies cannot. We are now witnessing the fall of a great empire but as a Canadian I really can’t say much. Our rather modest empire fell the first time we elected the second Trudeau.
Reminds me of a medical procedure I had done about 10 years ago. I could choose the government solution that was “free” (to me) or pay for a solution at a private clinic. Here is the details of the two solutions:
Solution 1:
$600 total cost
90% success rate
virtually painless
day procedure – no hospital stay
away from work for 1/2 day
Solution 2:
$15,000
90% failure rate
very painful
3 day hospital stay
2 weeks off work
The first solution is 225x more efficient monetarily than the second. Not to mention the difference of pain or lost work time.
Anyone want to hazard a guess which one the government WOULD pay for and which one the government WOULD NOT pay for? You only get one guess though.
Canada’s “ free” healthcare and other govt programs are far from free or efficient. In fact they do more harm than good. But then again what in govt does do any good?
