RE: US government sending $1 billion in Africa aid while North Carolina is still reeling from a natural disaster

in Informationwar20 days ago

Government bureaucracy doesn't incentive efficiency at all. At the library, I had a set budget for programs to cover art supplies, refreshments and such. I was always frugal, and had a surplus at the end of the fiscal year, but used that to order ahead for planned programs the next year before the money went away. I think I was a rarity. Some programmers at other district libraries eyed my surplus greedily because they spent their funds as fast as they could months ago.
