The city moved to fire an employee for missing about 18 months of work, even though he had the best excuse of all time — he was dead.
Bureaucrats at the Human Resources Administration filed charges against Medicaid-eligibility specialist Geoffrey Toliver accusing him of going AWOL — even though his death by cancer was reported in an online obituary.
An administrative-law judge then agreed to his firing, noting Toliver didn’t show up at his hearing.

And then years later I discovered that the real work of the company was performed by the workers. The hierarchy was merely intended to protect the owners from the workers. Because the owners in their white-tablecloth mansions were scared stiff of the workers. The workers could actually run the company and had no need for endless wasteful meetings.

LOL Who has time? Someone has to work for the millions who want to sit on their ass all day. But my shoulders are broad enough to bear the crushing weight.

This country is doomed and I see it more everyday. And yes, I did some checking and you can buy ice with an EBT card. Haven't any of these people heard of ice trays?

Channeling Ayn Rand Cog?
Actually, I really liked that book. I thought she got the economics about right, all her raving about idiot bureaucrats and who the really smart folks were responsible for keeping them in power.
I read it as a call for revolt against the bureaucrats. Of course the movers and shakers were too busy being in cahoots with the bureaucrats to take responsible charge.
