The Crappiest Place on Earth

VA secretary: Disney doesn't measure wait times, so why should VA? [More]
That's a pretty Goofy thing to say...

Big difference; people waiting for 'service' at Disneyland don't die while standing in line (unless they have just been released from an ICE detention center and are infected with a communicable disease acquired in some third world hell-hole).

Come to think of it, I wonder if ICE is giving free Disneyland tickets to released detainees, along with their 'promise to appear' notices. That sounds like something the O Administration would do.

The VA Secretary hasn't been to Disney recently, has he?

In addition to the point made above, that nobody dies while standing in line for a Disney attraction -- Disney does, in fact, measure wait times. They're displayed above the entrance to each attraction: "Approximate wait time: xx minutes".

While we were there, every so often, the front attendant would scan a card or token and they'd ask a patron to give it to the attendant at the end; that person would scan it again. It's basically a networked stop-watch, timing how long it takes to get through the line. Most of the "wait time" signs would update automatically - very few needed to be re-set by hand.

If Disney can figure out how to measure wait times with reasonable accuracy, there's really no excuse for the VA to not be able to tell about how long it takes for a vet to apply and receive services.
