This made me laugh, and I needed a laugh. Possibly The Dumbest Example Of Waste DOGE Has Discovered (So Far)
OK, so this isn't breaking news, it was all over social media the other day. Trump and DOGE did something, so it must be stupid or evil or whatever. The Left and the Meida are against it.
One of the dumbest and most hilarious cases of this very phenomenon was on display in a story in the Washington Post this week. It opens with this paragraph, “At California’s Yosemite National Park, the Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms.”
I have questions.
Why is there a locksmith on staff, as a locksmith, when you could just contract with one when needed? How often in your life have you said, “Damnit, why isn’t there a locksmith on staff?!” At the most, I’d say one time. But the odds are heavily in favor of never.
The article goes on to ask those questions. Why can't you hire one from a nearby town? People used to lock keys in the car all the time. I'm pretty sure my SUV won't let me lock the keyfob in the vehicle. (It unlocks, flashes the lights, and honks at me.) So there are probably a couple of locksmiths that would love even a small .gov contract.
Why can't you make more keys?
There is more.
