I don't see the difference. Dweebs? Boy, that's a classist statement if I ever heard one. This ceremony certainly cuts into their productive time, and to infer that there's a different standard to be held out just because some sucker wears a suit to work, is sick. Politicians, their staffers, assorted hangers on all attend these ceremonies. All on the clock. And the afterglow as well. On your dime.
And the above mentioned activities are usually not "paid" activities either, unless you work in civil service? Think about it. How much productivity is lost in government? Then think about what we are about to lose in services because these self same governmental entities are playing patty-cake on our time and money.
