The USPS wants to go to 5 day delivery to save money and I don't have an issue with that. I have however maintained for years that Government Offices should be open Tuesday though Saturday. People shouldn't have to take off work to renew drivers licences or register their vehicles.

That said, Forestry is a noble profession I have great respect for.

RE: Many government workers work very hard, long hours, and in thankless jobs. I was lucky to have a government job in which I was and felt very productive.

I fear you are the exception. You seem like someone that would work hard and care about their job. That is not the experience I have at the DMV or dealing with county bureaucrats. People that do not care at all.

Government unions have sissified the work force since you were employed.

MM, that is no doubt quite true. But I will bet you a cookie that the percentage of sloth among government employees is a lot higher than that in private industry.
