idiocracy..sell the building,where you work, to pay someone's retirement benefits..looks like they would do anything, even sell the power plants,but not the right thing-reduce the salaries,benefits and gvt workforce. been public servant suppose to be a privilege,where for smaller than private sector salary(way smaller),early retirement and better benefits you accept that job. from my perspective things are so fucked up..i can't even understand how is this possible. how is this possible that public servants having unions? to protect them from what exactly? from people,who are paying their salary?
