What makes bureaucracies inefficient but similar structures in private companies not so?
Accountability, when you work for a private company, you don’t get to hide any of what you are doing from your employer.
You don’t get to do that in government either. Public sector workers still have bosses and can still be fired.
No? WHat are the names of the sixteen prisoners Biden is pressuring Egypt to release? Where is the rest of the Jan 6th footage?
File a FOIA a request.
Does an employer have to file one to find out what his employees are up to?
No, but there are numerous “employers” in the chain of command that don’t have to in the government before you get to the general public.
Pile up the caveats.

For one thing, individuals who work for a company can only spend company money and use company resources and will be held accountable for theft or misuse or downright incompetence. Politicians are spending other peoples money, which the perceive to be endless and can blatantly lie,cheat and steal and suffer zero consequences.
Politicians aren’t the same as pubic sector workers. Public sector workers still have budgets they have to stay within.
You’ve never worked for the government have you?

Personally, I buy half a hog from a local butcher and take it to a local butcher, much cheaper.

Does a company shareholder have any information about a business and its employees on tap or do they have to request information?

When I say worked for the government, I mean as a government employee, not as in doing a job as a contractor or being hired to do a specific job for a specific amount of money. You seem too young to have much experience with how the government works. Full disclosure: I have been a government employee for 22 years. I’m not being snarky when I question your posts about how government works…,

I’m currently a government contractor. I’ve previously worked for local government . My father worked in government most of his whole life.
Are you saying you can blow your whole budget and there are no repercussions?

Are you serious? If you don’t blow your whole budget, it will be cut next year.

No, they can go over budget (so can the private sector). I just don’t believe its without repercussions.

Best bacon I’ve ever had…The whole apt smelled like smoke, and not the artificial kind…kinda aggravated the GF…lol. But it was worth it…. They’re out of New Hampshire.

This is interesting to me. Weirding out about the price of meat or bacon or whatever. Looking post-Neolithic, following the origin and amplification of social stratification, followed relatively quickly by the states and “civilizations,” the majority of humans lived a back-breaking existence and died in terror. Now, even a middle class slob in western industrialized countries can garner the amount of protein that might be the envy of a medieval king. I know that, as a teacher, I can go to Whole Foods or whatever, and buy the best meats for sale. I’m not sure when in the recent past that became the “norm,” but if you are used to that, the future may not be exactly the same.
This can’t be a serious statement. Libs control all 3 branches and we still have to see what crackhead Joe and his dimwitted whore can pass?
He passed the stimulus bill that put more money into poor peoples pockets
He passed child credit which did the same.
Pretty hard to pass legislation with the senate filibuster in place.

Their votes trashed this country.
It’s up to our votes to repair the insane amount of damage their insanity caused.
I fear we’re going to see the misery index return, something we haven’t experienced since the Carter days. I think America is already ready for a change.
Did anyone defend high gas prices back then?
