You guys really need to stop with all the golf talk or else @superdave will be forced to open a Presidential golf thread.
No, I was pointing out that primary variable was education level. There are not nearly as many jobs at the high school level education in the public sector, so of course they would be paid better. Same at the doctorate level. Also, they looked at median salaries, ignoring the ridiculous upside in the private sector at the top echelon, as opposed to the public sector.
Government jobs tend to pay high grads well, college grads meh, and those with grad degrees chicken feed. They are The Great Equalizer.
Most of the high school level jobs are being outsourced to contractors. So they get paid less and have worse benefits, but taxpayer money is saved. Decide for yourself whether that is a good thing.
It's good for those in high tax brackets. As with every economic change that has occurred over the past 40 years.
It would depend on the job performance. Is the service being provided is worse, then is bad, if it is similar quality then it is better. The Government duty is to provide services, not to guarantee jobs (well that may change). So if the government can provide the same service at lower cost it should.
Government wages are like MLS with out the DPs and allocation money, they have max salary caps and higher minimums. The private sector is more like La Liga, the little guys in the little teams get shit, but the R.M. and Barca stars get tons of money.
170k is really not that much. Of course, the position does open up lots of other opportunities for creating wealth.
The child detention camps are here - I confronted the border officers myself.Using their names, I told them exactly what they are responsible for.One of them made eye contact with me.I spoke directly to him.I saw his sense of guilt.We can dismantle this.#AbolishICE pic.twitter.com/QLyc9MAnkt— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 24, 2018
I hope that this "eye contact" is more real that that Republican that stared at "immigrant" children on a bus and saw their fear. Later turned out it was just a regular school bus from some middle school. Maybe we sense what we want to sense when we "look" at other people in the eye.
They are being outsourced to ostensibly save the government money. That typically means lower wages and fewer employed.
Hey Rep. Cheney, since you’re so eager to “educate me,” I’m curious:What do YOU call building mass camps of people being detained without a trial?How would you dress up DHS’s mass separation of thousands children at the border from their parents? https://t.co/OOfrrfa1Ew— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 18, 2019
It didn't take long for someone to post this in the original thread... 1140996016742772736 is not a valid tweet id That also refers to this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_concentration_camps Of course, those and the British ones were some 100+ years ago and I'd like to think we'd moved ahead slightly since then but, bluntly, it's a continuing problem in most developed countries... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarl's_Wood_Immigration_Removal_Centre Obviously that's a detention centre prior to likely removal but I'd hope that what's happening in the states doesn't happen here... at least, not as a matter of course.
Right, I was about to post this, you can refer them as concentration camps with out going all holocaust. Japanese escapements were concentration camps, Native Americans were put in concentration camps before. People will hear or make up dog whistles as it suits their narrative.
As brutal as they were I still think it is useful to make a distinction between POW camps which hold soldiers and concentration camps which hold mainly civilians.
