Metaphor of the Day, federal government edition

This would be ironic, except “irony” requires a result you didn’t expect:

Within hours of its debut, the federal government’s ballyhooed new jobs board was on the fritz: USAJobs crashed repeatedly, error messages popped up over and over, résumés disappeared, passwords were obliterated.

It even got basic geography wrong, with searches for Delaware, for example, turning up jobs in Germany.

Question: when someone exhibits this kind of ineptitude, do you:

• give him/her more responsibility; or

• give him/her less/no responsibility?

If you vote the former, congratulations! You are the 99%!

One more thing:

“It’s now a mess,” Donna Walli wrote on the site’s Facebook page on Oct. 13, two days after it went live after a costly 18-month redo. “Hopefully I’ll finally get a job soon and I won’t have to deal with USAJobs anymore.”

Go back to work, you lazy unemployed people, or you’ll have to deal with a federal government program! And you know better than anybody: dealing with federal government programs sucks.

Or you ought to know.

Hat tip Hot Air.
