Because if you have an ounce of brains or a modicum of drive or talent, you get the fuck outta here once you turn 18. Everyone who stays has their head up their ass or is broken. This place just brings out the worst traits in every ethnic group and erodes the good ones to dust.

this guy seems to think it should be illegal to fire anyone, apparently. it's not okay to fire people because they... have kids? they've been at the job for a while? they have debt for a job that they took? i mean so do a lot of people in the private sector. this is normal. you can tell all of these people genuinely thought they were fucking invincible.1740087059947.png
were government jobs advertised as being hard to get fired from for a long time or something? i know it was an unspoken thing in some places but was it this well known?

As someone who was born during Reagan’s first term, conventional wisdom used to be that you WOULD NOT make a lot of money working for government, but you had job security.

They couldn’t pick one, it had to be both. Tsk tsk

Job security has been the main advertiser for government jobs since as long as I can remember.
The most scariest thing to them before now was a government shutdown where they just get to go on vacation without pay.
Well, not without pay. No pay during the duration of the shutdown but once a spending bill is passed they receive backpay.

The post office.
If you were a veteran, you could easily get work at the post office. Lots of guys when I was a kid in the 1970s were Korean War vets and we even had a guy on our route who was a late WW2 veteran. That was what a "government job" was.
 
Apparently it would come from money that is already accumulated for USAID or other wasteful spending. It would (in theory) not be printing money, just giving it back. Also there's not really any reason we can't do both suggestions.
I think it's fine to give money back to taxpayers, my point was more that the amount should be proportionate to how much tax a person has paid. Otherwise it's redistribution of wealth. It's probably difficult to calculate the correct amount though (how many years should be taken into account?), hence the suggestion of a one-time percentage based tax break instead, which would automatically be proportionate to the amount of tax that someone would otherwise pay.
