That’s just how we talk around here.
Quentin:Look, everyone needs to chill—this whole budget situation isn't nearly as dramatic as people are making it out to be.
Just so you know, besides the doctors, the military, the cops, and the firefighters, there are plenty of other folks working in public institutions who actually show up to an office every single day instead of working from home. You really think they should all get bumped up to minimum wage too?
Man, your whole post sounds like "Revenge of the Private Sector, Part 2" or some weirdly specific cheerleader chant from Miroslav’s squad.
Honestly, they should just get it over with already: set one flat salary for everyone working in government and public service based on the national average here in the States. Just level the playing field! That way, politicians and all those useless bureaucrats would actually take a temporary pay cut, while our police officers, firefighters, nurses, and the rest of the real heroes would see a temporary bump up. Simple, right? |
I'll be sure to come back and bug you at the end of the year once we're stuck staring at a $130 billion budget with a massive $50 billion deficit.
What do you guys think happens when our workforce drops from the current 1.3 million—with maybe 800,000 in the private sector—down to something like 500,000 in private business? What on earth is the government going to do with all those extra employees sitting around in state agencies and massive corporations? Like, what services are they even going to provide that someone would actually pay for? And more importantly, how would anyone afford it? Is a smart Government just gonna start hiking up Credit? Or maybe they’ll just sell off everything they own?
Honestly, they should just slash their salaries now and then slowly freeze them out or lay them off. It’s way better than all of us going broke at once just because The Party is playing backward games to protect their voter base.
This is actually a perfect excuse to trim down those 550+ townships and 130+ cities into a much more sensible 100+ total, kind of like how they do it in Denmark. The same goes for state and local agencies—take Bandic's sanitation department, for instance. They ballooned from 1,000 employees to 2,000, yet trash is still piling up in the streets! Lately, they've even started pulling recycling bins and trash cans off the sidewalks just to "reduce the workload." I mean, no bins, no trash, everything looks clean, right? Pure genius. Meanwhile, they've got hundreds of municipal inspectors out there just making sure citizens are walking properly down the street.
The real crisis in this country isn't some virus or an earthquake; it's the incompetent government that's been handing out jobs to their buddies for thirty years straight. Out of those 800,000 people in the private sector, you don't even have 300,000 who actually operate independently from the government. A huge chunk of them rely on businesses that depend on government contracts, so if those contracts vanish, they go down too. The state basically controls 80% of the GDP. That is the real sickness in America.
That's why we need a total systemic collapse. We need it so we can finally kick all those cronies out to where they belong—all hundred thousand members of The Party and their entire extended families.
Look, I'm not the one making the calls here. It’s the researchers... the ones who actually studied how long the COVID virus sticks around on different surfaces and stays active in people who've already recovered...

Do you only threaten your own people with being fired like this, or is this just how you treat anyone who isn't part of your inner circle? Because it’s more than obvious you're just using this as an excuse to...
Not exactly selective... Just some sympathy for those who don't fit into your little circle...

No, any sane person would realize that in a situation like this, you'd spend the next year or eighteen months aggressively slashing the federal budget and cutting spending across the board. You'd have to sit the public down and explain that certain services just aren't happening for a year or two... strictly due to force majeure...
The solution isn't mass layoffs, heavy taxes, or slashing everyone's paychecks... It's strictly about gutting the budget.

The solution isn't about slashing salaries... It’s about setting a flat average pay for everyone in public and government service while this lasts. That way, the overpaid ones end up getting cut in half, and the underpaid people actually doing all the heavy lifting finally get a fair shake... $333 More.

Do you honestly believe the public sector is mostly made up of people who aren't voters or political hacks, or is that just your delusion? You're basically suggesting pay cuts and layoffs should be applied indiscriminately to every single civil servant, even the ones who have absolutely zero connection to the cronies or The Party?
If they actually start doing that, the first people to get screwed over will be the ones who aren't hacks or Party loyalists!
