Robert McNeesThis morning, during some chaos, this zipped by on one of my feeds. Maybe it was here? Maybe it was BlueSky? Hard to overstate how much this made my day.

As with all teams that produce good results the bureaucrats at the top took the performance bonuses for themselves and fired the beavers who did the actual work

roger petersen 🏴☠️🐊@mcnees archetypal under-funded public officials getting it done with what they can muster from existing resources and infrastructure
ScurvyProtectedWhen a few beavers do a better and faster job than an entire country can lol
j4n3z@IlostTheGame welcome to the country where you have to fill in form to complain on filling too much forms. God we love bureaucracy and we will make the hell out of it!
Which reminds me, did these beavers ask for building permission along with neighbours permissions and other 40 organizations assent? 🤔

@j4n3z oh no, that sounds like nightmares I've had 🫠Some bureaucracy is unavoidable but at some point it just gets ridiculous. For some reason I'm reminded of that book Bullshit Jobs.
I don't think they did, someone might have to go fill out a form to complain!

Possibly AI-generated RybotCalbearo 🇪🇸🎾@mcnees so the Czech government said “Leave it to Beaver” to fix their ecological problems.

Beavers restored to tribal lands in California benefit ecosystems https://news.mongabay.com/2025/09/beavers-restored-to-tribal-lands-in-california-benefit-ecosystems/
Chris Hanson@knowattitude @mcnees The (engineered) creek right by my home has a beaver dam now, and it’s a glorious sight! It’s led to some nice improvements in the local ecosystem in just a couple years, it’s probably a good part of the reason my wife and I got to see a blue heron catch and eat a fish one morning a couple months ago.
ity [unit X-69] - VIOLENT FUCK@mcnees mfw the gov here is so damn incompetent the fucking beavers have to do their job

millennial fulcrum@mcnees the world-changing power of local volunteer work.
Frances Perkins was right
Plsik (born in 320 ppm)@mcnees And those damn beavers did it for free!
Richard Hendricks@mcnees Timberborn IRL?
LogicalErzor@mcnees related: clams monitoring water quality in poland
Jens Bemme@mcnees Those beavers deserve the Czech equivalent of a Congressional Medal of Honor!
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@mcnees is this the one where the beavers built their dam in the exact same place the engineers had planned to build one?
Bent Chinrest@mcnees very similar occurrence in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park last century
