how long have you been working in government? I don't think you know what really goes on at the state and federal level...

On the surface, yes, government employees can be "held accountable", "disciplined", and "terminated". How that policy and code is enforced and acted upon is a WHOLE 'nother story, which is what @MikeM7 is underscoring.

There's a huge reason why the DMV is the most hated waiting line on earth. Consistently through each and every state and community. Anyone want to take a crack at why that is?
