Wow "111 million RAT tests in a state of 2.7 million"
That's some oversight and overspend, but of course not the first or last inefficiency from a public body. There never seems to be any accountability for any bad decisions made by senior civil servants who are the ones who really run countries. The politicians come and go but not the civil servants.
I've worked in the Public service here in Ireland for a few years and there are some brilliant people, but also some terrible workers who have "jobs for life"
The winners don't write history, the scholars do.
I have never worked public, but have been around politics and civil servants a bit. It is definitely a mixed bag. Some work their asses off, some do next to nothing.
