OT: Public pay & benefits

[jimmyle]

My coworker, a maintenance worker, fell through the roof and died last year and I believe his maintenance job is much more dangerous than police work. Of course, no body except his relatives and my coworkers know about this.

Here is the list of the jobs that are more dangerous than police:
pilots, truck and bus drivers, captains, crane operators, sailors, construction laborers, carpenters, roofers, operating engineers, iron and steel workers, farmers and ranchers, construction managers, executives, retail sales, cashiers, sales representatives, door-to-door sales, real estate workers, telecommunications installers, mechanics, computer repairers….

Yeah, like the city has money to hire more firefighters.

Pay half the rate of what firefighters get right now and you have a few thousand resumes in one day.

“Anyone who thinks it’s easy or who thinks they can do a better job is welcome to sign up.”

If Jerry Brown gets elected those of us in the private sector in California really are doomed.

We will work hard to serve our masters, the Public Employees and their powerful unions.

But wait, once income tax and sales tax reach 15% there will be any private workers left in this state to finance this montrosity? This is not going to work is it?

And don’t tell me sales tax won’t reach 15%. It was 5% and now it is on the verge of going to 9.25%. Nothing is going to stop this, as the public employee unions get more powerful and putting their puppets into office they will be more and more arrogant.

I have started buying almost every thing I can on Amazon. I even bought a vacuum cleaner on Amazon last week. I pay no sales tax to California. I am a PRIME member of Amazon where you pay $79 a year and get unlimited free shipping. So far this year, I bought for myself and my parents, sister, and brothers over $9K on Amazon. Everything from HDTV, blueray player to diapers. I rather see UPS get my money.
