“Gee, knock me over with a feather. Lazy people are more likely to work for the government. And they even admit it! However, it seems that there are some causation/correlation issues. It may be that you don’t work for the government because you’re lazy. Instead, working for the government may make you lazy. As a taxpayer, I confess this causes me some mixed feelings. I’m irked that bureaucrats are getting lavishly compensated at my expense. And I don’t like the idea of them goofing off while playing Solitaire or updating their Facebook pages. But then I remind myself that this may be the least-destructive way for them to occupy their time.”
