Not when you start looking at the nuts and bolts. Point to 1 National Park service site where the infrastructure isn't starting to fail.

The Military is a Government run program...

32 year military retiree here. Although I was AF (which is the best of the services) I have deployed with and worked with the Army and Marines (not so much the Navy and don't think of the USCG as a military branch). The military as a whole is a very inefficient and bloated organization with incompetence at many levels. Near unlimited money, resources and technology is what puts our military above others.

Government isnt in the business of making or saving money, theyre in the business of "creating jobs". Think about it that way and it all makes sense.

I have seen a few post office folks who are good workers and genuinely have a positive attitude.

This is true of most government agencies, but that doesn't fit the narrative being written in this thread.

The stereotyping of government employees is just that--a stereotype. Yes, it fits alot of people, but there are also a fair amount of good, hard working people that work for the government.

The government is nothing but one giant Rube Goldberg machine.

So many TLAs they had to resort to FLAs.

I've met excellent employees at some of the places that have the worst reputation. There are plenty of awful employees in the private sector. The issue with public agencies is there is no incentive to improve or be efficient. You could change this dynamic but the taxpayer would scream about that too.

Imo not talking about high level.

This is almost too much for me to type rt now. But from the Frontline people you deal with at the courthouse, the dmv, the post office. Those people have no ambition and only ignorance.

So much to go into for individual positions but then again you can look at My city rt now, New Orleans. We have a functioning retard as a mayor.

Sewer and water? They literally hit the pump with a fricking wrench to try to fix it because they don't know how. You are running these things on electric systems built almost 100 years ago.

And yes the private sector is full of shite. But have you tried to open a private business and delt with government? It has nothing to do with me crying about them doing something diff, they all already do something diff, from city to city county to county.

You can be 10 feet away from a county you have been doing business in and this one has a totally diff set of rules and totally diff people you have to deal with.
