Outsourcing Government Positions, (a satire)

Day 1,025, 08:33 • Published in Switzerland

• by Lynari

I have seen some skepticism about our incumbent President’s cabinet choices. As anybody who has clicked on the strange names of the Ministry of Press’ latest (and only) article knows, some of the cabinet members do not live in Switzerland, do not hold Swiss citizenship, or hold office elsewhere.

To the skeptics, I say relax! Think about it, really; of all the thousands and thousands of people in the e-world, is it possible that the best ten or so people to lead Switzerland happen to be among the few hundred Swiss? I say no way! I think we should be outsourcing more important positions. Don’t think of it as a PTO, but as bringing in the experts!
