Nothing changes

When I was a kid growing up in London, I always used to wonder at public works employees. You would invariably see one man digging a hole while four or five others watched.

Much the same philosophy applies in the US, though as a nominally capitalist economy, we have reduced the worker:watcher ratio to 1:1 which, I suppose, is a bargain for the taxpayer.

I watched these chaps for a couple of minutes and can attest that the fat one did absolutely nothing during that time. Spotted in The Tenderloin the other day.
