      What a load of nonsense. Federal employees don’t own the government any more than the average Canadian does. We pay for it but we don’t own it. The government is owned by the wealthy, the powerful, and corporations. The rest of us are just cattle being farmed for wealth. They get us in debt as early as possible and keep us in debt until the day we die and take everything we owned to pay it off.

      They fuck up the workers pay because they can because they allow themselves to get away with it.

          No…this whole idea that the people own the government is fantasy. It’s not real.

          Management are incompetent because yes men, often suffers of Dunning Kruger, are less threatening and get promoted. Once management is incompetent they promote more yes men. You end up with an entire upper management structure that is full of the abjectly incompetent while the competent people are abused and ignored and try to keep the wheels on.

          Nothing nearly as fantastic as your ideas. It’s actually quite banal.

                  Urban Dictionary says:

                  Were done here.

                  When someone says something so dumb, the entire conversation is killed and you need to move on immediately.

                  It is the talking equivalent of aggressively holding down the off button on your computer to just shut it down, without regard for open documents or what you were doing.
