...that adds up to 2,333 hours of work. Can you think of a more cartoonish example of government waste than using 292 workdays’ worth of man-hours to clarify that, last week, air-traffic controllers monitored airplanes?

Plenty, because I'm not a blithering retard. I'm a retard, but I never blither, thank you very much.

Here's some more math for this dumbass. There are 52 weeks in a year. A forty hour week comes out to 2,080 hours a year, from one person. That's roughly equal to the time "wasted" in the above example.

So, basically, if this determines even one of those fourteen thousand people are doing an unsatisfactory job, and they are fired, you pretty much break even. So if you have more inefficiency than 0.00007% percent of the workforce, you've made gains.

Also, the premise is completely wrong. They can spend those ten minutes answer the email while they're doing other stuff. It's not completely written off. If they have any downtime, or any time they usually answer emails, it also all balances out.

It doesn't even matter how long or not long it takes, the entire premise of the argument is distorted, they beg the question in classic leftist matter, by not even acknowledging the other side exists outside of caricature.

The key phrase is the last one in your quote "to clarify that last week, air traffic controllers monitored airplanes" it assumes the audit is false on the outset.

The ENTIRE POINT of the audit is the notion that air traffic controllers are probably NOT monitoring aircraft. That's what waste and fraud IS. It's the "police found no evidence of their wrongdoing" writ large. And again, its a quintessential leftist ploy, Snopes used it sycophantically.

Saying it even takes ten minutes is outrageous. Anyone who actually works can answer that in maybe two minutes.

I'd go so far to say that if the five things you did last week don't just jump out of your head in rapid-fire, you're either trying to stretch the truth or straight up lying.
