"Transportation Department Hires Pair To Explore Possibilities"

"A new office created by the Healey administration is intended to "bring experimentation" and "different ideas" to the state's department of transportation, which has come under scrutiny lately in the face of a litany of safety and service issues."

The Chief of the Office of Possibility will make $160,000
and the deputy will make $138,000

per year.

Wow. New positions of highly paid government bureaucrats to come up with more risky “experimental” ideas.  What could go wrong?

The possibilities are endless!

Hopefully the most probable possibility is that the chief and deputy they hire do nothing but collect their paychecks.

Exactly. The best we can hope for from most government is merely to be robbed of more of our money.

So six figure salaries to say your ideas probably won't work? JFK. Fuck tea, time to start throwing people into Boston Harbor tied to cement blocks.

I’m old enough to remember when people in actual jobs actually were expected, without fanfare or specifications, to come up with ideas to do things better and initiate new processes to improve existing things, and visualize how something new or different might be helpful.

This “possibilities” crap is indeed a thin veil over WOKE BULLSHIT GRIFTING. Or worse, just the kind of jerkwads who will spend millions of your money, Bob, on failed programs that make said GRIFTERS look virtuous for their five minutes of fame for “solving” some problem, or coming up with a nonexistent one to “solve,” until their personal wealth mysteriously swells and the program failures are never reported except on Page 794 of the state budget as a loss of millions.

All the while, pragmatic solutions, possibilities and processes are discarded as racist or unfair, such as personal responsibility and enforcement of laws.

This reminds me of when BHO was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the “possibility” he showed in working toward peace, not for any peace he actually brought about.

Galling.
