I wonder just who they're buying it for (if the plan is to distribute it) or if they're storing it to create a shortage. Weaponized IRS has just taken on a new meaning. I don't know about the legalities of this, but it seems like a rather suspicious purchase for a tax collecting organization.

Working from home requires the same work ethic as self-employment does...and there's nothing wrong with being self-employed. Not sure what you meant to imply tho so I'll leave it there.
As a current Federal employee, there are quite a few other Federal employees that are taking advantage of the work from home situation to do everything but work. When I call and email a support staff person and they don't answer or get back to me for a day or two, we have a problem. As one of a handful of people on base that has worked throughout the entire covid business, I can honestly say that a lot less work is being accomplished by quite a few people that are still teleworking. Of course, even before telework, we had some employees that were barely working anyways.
Pretty much agree with everything you said.
My boss works from home and half the time I talk to her she's doing the dishes or laundry or some shit.
One of my coworkers is always outside somewhere whenever I speak to him on the phone. I can always hear traffic in the background. I have no idea what the hell he is doing everyday, but he pretty much has checked out from work. He only has 2 years left to retirement, but that is a long time to screw off.
I’m self employed and unless I have to be in front of the computer for info, I multi task too. I can do dishes and have a conversation. It actually is more productive when you think about it.
