        Yep I always said as a manager that unfortunately 80% of my time was taking up dealing with 20% of the employees who were the problem children.

        Isn't that because the other ants are doing other things liking taking care of eggs, gathering food, guarding the nest, scouting and other things?

        Sounds like socialism via tax transfer of wealth, and then communism is 80/20.

        The rest have other duties like get food, tend to eggs and queen, and guard the nest. They don't sit around and collect paychecks.
