Look around when you're outside and take notice of all the maintenance not being performed. Speak with people who have a job and see how many of them would describe their workplace as chronically understaffed. We're a long way away from "people idling at a job site". And even if we weren't, there's a cost to idle tasks that sit around waiting for someone to be available to do them.
That said, only a small percentage of workers are happy to be pointless. Punishing everyone over the few hypothetical lazy does more harm than good.

That being said, you’re right that we are seeing a lot of genuine demand for important work not being filled. To me, this seems like mid-allocation of labor and it’s one of the effects of a low interest environment.

- t0suj4 4y agoI think the maintenance is not being performed because nobody wants to spend all the time and sweat to fix a bridge and getting rewarded by "Thank you and Goodbye! Oh by the way we couldn't get your budget approved but thank you, again, you helped us out with that thorn in our butt... about your payment.. better luck next time! KTHXBYE!".
