From what I have seen from watching road workers as I drive by it takes at
least 2 guys to supervise 1 guys work. Always just a couple of them working
while the rest just stand around watching them.
No wonder it takes them so long to finish the job.

With a total cost of the work in progress at somewhere between $200-500 per
hour for these cats/trucks/equipment while 1 guy is actually workin it all does
seem more than a bit inefficient, huh ?
If an industry/manufacturer/etc. operated their business like this they'd soon
be out of business. Luckily for municipalities and state workers the rules of
costs vs. profits don't apply. If it all costs too much the governing entities
just raise the taxes higher to compensate for the short fall .... whatta racket

A friend of mine use to work for a Sewer Department.... they would get called
in and hang out in the locker room (overtime), play cards and shoot darts
etc..... and the supervisor is the one that set it all up! Not to mention even
when something needed to be done it would take 10 guys to go hang out, then they
would work in "shifts".... you go take care of it for a little bit
then he'll go take care of it etc.etc.etc.etc.etc., it's a giant scam, cities,
states etc. waste way more money than they cry about dealing with things that we
actually need the money for.... don't get me started on gov. offices.... just a
bunch of actors!
