It would seem that Trump’s financial watchdogs are causing some discomfort among the rank and file of those drawing government checks while working from home.

Well, perhaps I need to be careful how I use the term “work.” It would seem that maybe there is a significant number that, while supposedly working at home for taxpayers, they are busy working elsewhere, doing who knows what.

Working two jobs at once is not new. I even know people who worked three jobs. Nothing wrong with that. Even admirable. However, working for someone else while on the federal clock is wrong, and hopefully is illegal. In the vernacular, it’s not cool.

And so it is that Elon and his crew appear to be making it uncomfortable for those working nine-to-five for Uncle Sam while also working for someone else during the same time.

After considering it for a while, it does make me wonder. I might have been able to make some money if I served as a security guard and custodian for, let’s say, the same.school. It sounds good, but I don’t think I could get away with it.

Why should we let the federal employees get away with this? I mean, as a custodian and security guard, at least I’d have to be there, though in a dual role. I couldn’t wear two hats simultaneously, but I could juggle them both with the dexterity of a circus performer.
