America, the great meritocracy. NOT!

As Vets Await Checks, VA Workers Get $24M Bonuses

Wow, that’s special. Like olympics special.

The official, Jennifer S. Duncan, also engaged in nepotism and got $60,000 in bonuses herself, the IG said. In addition, managers improperly authorized college tuition payments for VA employees, some of whom were Duncan’s family members and friends. That cost taxpayers nearly $140,000.

Separately, a technology office employee became involved in an ”inappropriate personal relationship” with a high-level VA official. The technology office employee flew 22 times from Florida to Washington, where the VA official lived. That travel cost $37,000.

So, people like THIS are considered “employable” in your world? Yeah, right. Fuck you. Yeah, you – you know who you are.

In the meantime, does this remind anyone else of that little well-worn joke about how bureaucrats describe a crock of shit to their supervisors? “This wonderous and highly decorative container is full of the stuff that makes things grow…”

    We used to call this Embezzlement, and it was a crime.

    Now they’re called “bonuses” and they’re considered business-as-usual.

    But Americans do nothing.   They just let it continue.  They’ll boycott Whole Foods but do nothing about the banksters embezzeling literally billions of dollars for themselves.
