Maggie's Farm

It's a poorly kept secret that many federal workers are on a year round vacation. They work from "home" but "home" can be anything from the beaches of Puerto Rico and Hawaii to Paris and Rome. They wake by 9:00 DC time and sign on and then make sure to do a couple of things online before the sign off by 5:00 DC time. Pretty good gig. They don't really accomplish anything but no worries their boss is doing the same thing so he isn't going to say anything. Some of the office buildings in DC have the capacity for thousands of workers and the offices are empty except for the occasional janitor and the security staff. If you show up at these "public" buildings they won't let you in. You can't get anyone on the phone it is an automated circle jerk. You can't show up without an appointment and you must make your appointment by phone. If you try to go see for yourself where your tax dollars are going the guards will turn you away and if you don't leave they will arrest you. THAT is your government folks!
