Which was blocked repeatedly by the D.C. criminal gang of traitors.
Execute anyone who stood in the way. D.C. NIFO

And all that was needed was an honest audit.

As a contract process programmer I had a contract at the Chevron refinery near Oakland for a job that lasted about a month. Great people to work with on the job and a good place to work, but Oakland is a place I will never go back to. I hope Commiefornia doesn't turn Chevron into Oakland.

Great work, DOB! 👍

CALIFORNIA? OIL/GAS??? say it ain't true!

Well then, we should hire those kids, they got everything correct!
It's "Titanic".

I never thought about it either, but it was the same for me. I walked point for production support for probably 39 of my 45 years in the business. Any time any program did anything other than what it was supposed to do, I had to figure out a) what went wrong and b) how to fix it. Meanwhile, all or part of the entire production floor was waiting on me to fix it.

I like it. A lot.

May Commiefornia become Venezuela.

Not a chance.

Medicare pays first ...... then Tricare for Life. I know, I am on Medicare and Tricare for Life myself.

Qreat work OUC my water brother but Q …really it’s just a kid in his parents basement. Playing a LARP.

After making life hard on the refineries via regulations and fines they want to do this. I hope they give the refineries to them and they come in to find the place is made out of paper mache.

Never thought about it until just now, I never worked in the dark, My efforts, production, contributions were center stage. No where to hide and I never resented it, in fact, I reveled in the experience. Never had to call attention to it, it was a given.

Here's a thought. Wait until the land around DC hits bottom, buy it up, re-wild it as a protected zone restricting travel and occupancy, under a private partnership.

A gulch maybe.

Glad you are better ;-)

Here's another idea regarding "justifying employment". What if there are ghost accounts. A non-response prompts investigation. If there are disbursements, stop them, then investigate the recipient trail for fraud.
This works for SS, Medicare, Medicaid and a host of other departmental employees/activities.

Makes me wonder about my County/City/school systems. Already found Act Blue fraud in my area.

Yeah, not everyone supports it.
At least you found out.

Maybe you can license the tech to CA.

I agree completely. I always heard a simpler version of this: If you want something done, give it to someone who is busy.

Bongino just might be the one to talk them all into no redactions, period.

Didn't work at frontier.com

I had a business that did that, but Obama convinced enough of my customers to take solar energy freebies. Your comment is part of my shrug story.

I had a good run with a state government. Here's the deal. The Pareto Principal is alive in well in state government. Take the square root of the number of people in the staff and understand that that many of them are doing 90% of the work. Once you establish yourself in that you're one of the workers, you work! You are expected to work. You're held to a higher standard. Those in the worker class should be able to easily keep their jobs. The rest are squabbling about it. Screw em... When I left my post the top chief (who I get along with great) asked me for one piece of advice. I said, "Close the office in the southern half of the state." They were unsupervised and a constant source of problems. He already knew it...

I have an old unopened bottle of rum, which was "28 anos" when I brought three bottles through customs in my backpack from Mexico City, back when I could tell Customs and they didn't even bother to look at it.
I may break that out if the Epstein list comes out unredacted, or I might save that for one of Trump's / Elon's other escapades ;^)
