Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

to do that at the slightest provocation. When I worked for them in
Warrington, they closed the offices for four days "due to the snow". It

You wouldn't wand snow on your rods, or in your graphite moderatorOr for the Fitters and some other specified people to stay on the plant
