Are you sure they worked "constantly"? That just don't sound natural
for city workers.

I have seen many standing around, leaning on a shovel - constantly.

Oh, yes.

A few years ago the county wanted to clean out vegetation from a canal that
cuts across about 200' of our property. It took...

a roughly 25' diesel powered barge with moveable, chopping props
a crane to get the boat in/out of the water
2 airboats
1 supervisor (with county car)
2 men to work the barge
at least 4 other men to do I know not what
about 3 days

one place to another. When he finished, he moved it back to where it was
originally. That's all he did, day after day...move the same pile of dirt
back and forth. Can you say, "cost plus"?
