I'm a private sector worker slacking off and shitposting on reddit/lemmy all day....

We are DEFINITELY NOT more efficient than the public sector

For every worker like you there are 4 government workers doing even less.

Spoken like someone who's never experienced corporate middle management.

Spoiler alert: both corporations and governments are mired in useless bureaucracy.

They also have different failure modes that make them better at doing different things. The government would be absolutely awful at making consumer products, just as private companies are absolutely awful at providing healthcare.

I have, and I’ve experienced government middle management and regular employees who just bludge all day and shuffle papers and face zero consequences.
