Federal & state employees only care about the paycheck
Unfortunately everyone is a slave to the dollar and only oath of life is to keep making money. Cop, military, all federal agencies only care about the paychecks and playing golf or the next vacation.

Re: Federal & state employees only care about the paycheck
Almost all employees anywhere only care about the paycheck.

I only care about the paycheck. Sure, I wear a smile and pretend to care about my job, boss, and coworkers, but it's only so that I'll keep getting paychecks.

A job is where you provide a service and receive payment in return. It shouldn't be thought of as anything more than a simple business arrangement.

And the Pensions, they are getting paid very good on Taxpayer dime.
And most of those positions are useless, the Government shuts down and no one notices.

Agreed but when do you say fuck it dig a bunker and start a fight against the powers that be. We pay good money for our federal agencies not to fuck us over but work for us. They need to be replaced cut the head off the snake.

Re: Federal & state employees only care about the paycheck
Does an electrician go and wire a house every day for 40 years ... FOR FREE?

Does a plumber come out and fix your pipes and replace your hotwater heater ... FOR FREE?

The ONLY employees I know who would "Work For Free" are pilots who fly the big airplanes. They LOVE to fly, and as one put it to me he can't believe he actually gets paid to go have FUN!!

Almost everybody else is working so they can get a paycheck. NO PAYCHECK and they are NOT going into work!! (do you?)

The vast MAJORITY of government employees do not provide any net benefit to civil society. They are parasitical in nature. As an example, there are multitudes of "administrators" that provide no real purpose.

The difference between the government and the marketplace(which is what you are describing) is that the government very often subsidizes services or activities that are of no benefit. BILLIONS are wasted each year. There are very few blacksmiths or stagecoach drivers these days because there is no market for them. A lot of occupations have lost numbers in the workplace/market because there is less demand for them. So the market eliminates those positions. The government though does not have any mechanism to correct for this and do not need income like a business to assess whether they should modify their workforce for example. Maybe the market needs less welders in the workplace for awhile but more electricians for example. The market will determine such things while the government simply forces taxation to pay the salaries of government employees that provide no benefit. Many of them are literal parasites and a drain on taxpayers.

Re: Federal & state employees only care about the paycheck
Just to add to my post above...

Here in my state there was an issue that came up (perhaps school choice) and public school teachers across the state claimed a "Sick Day" and went to the state capital to protest.

Now, how many employers in the private market would tolerate such behavior?

The teachers basically falsified records and defrauded the public (taxpayers) with their little tantrum.

A lot of employers do not even have "sick days" anymore and many do not have pensions or affordable medical insurance. Government employees though usually have significantly better benefits (i.e. medical insurance) and retirement than most taxpayers will ever have.

The government employees are a political class and most of them feel entitled and superior.
