 I’m increasingly convinced that all services and most jobs would be improved with more staff.  Literally, just more people. 

More people sitting around getting paid with nothing to do, until there is in fact something to do. 

Pay people to staff all those windows at the post office and bank and then celebrate no lines. Pay people to bus the tables, and other people to seat the guests, and still more people to take the orders and run the food. 

I’m so tired of seeing one person doing it all
