Private sector employees work harder for less pay and fewer benefits.
Government sector employees are bleeding counties and states dry with their overcompensation compared to private employees.
There is an overwhelming amount of nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, tribalism, and racism in government jobs.
They like to claim they’re making a big sacrifice by working for the government, but then they turn around & do whatever they can to get their family and friends hired into government positions.
Many government employees receive better compensation packages, better retirement benefits, and better job security than employees in the private sector. It’s a bribe.
They are middle-class people who run around as if they are one or two classes above the average American.
If we want to fix their asses, we should make sure that these government employees are on the same track as average Americans.
Both private and public employees on the same system. No two tier. No special privileges.
No enlistee should be sworn in until after completing basic training. People should be free to walk away without penalty. (Some military academies have different policies.)
Retirement plans should begin around six years of service, not at twenty.
Veterans should pay less in taxes, even if it’s just a token one or two percent.
The GI Bill for education and other educational benefits should never expire.
The veteran identification card I received looks cheap, cartoonish, and unprofessional. It reflects a complete lack of respect for veterans. I understand that Office Depot supposedly sponsored the cards, but that doesn’t justify putting their logo on the back. I never worked for them. They should have stamped “Honorable Discharge” on our actual military ID cards instead of taking them away.
Punitive and other types of undesirable discharges should not follow someone for the rest of their lives. It is malicious and vindictive. See the next point for why undesirable discharges should expire.
There are too many psychopaths and sociopaths in our government. The January 6 rioters are proof enough. These people need to be screened more carefully.
For the record, I loved my time in the U.S. Army. I was just lucky.
Moses and the “Israelites” were nothing but a raging and violent army that killed people and stole land belonging to other groups and tribes, like the Canaanites.
Canaanites were already established in the region several centuries before Abraham and about 1,500 years before Moses.
That 40 years of “wandering in the wilderness” nonsense was actually a time used to murder boys while kidnapping girls to build an army.
During both world wars, the British monarchy profited from people who died without leaving a will.

Nope! We won't fix the problem until we start at the beginning. As far as recent history, the clock starts in the 1880s, NOT in 1921 or 1947.
-
The first invasion into Palestine occurred during the First Aliyah (1881-1903).
-
One of the dishonest things Zionists did was to quietly start paying poor and presumably homeless Jewish people to move to Palestine in the 1880s to flood the region with Jewish people. Many Jewish people lied on their immigration paperwork to get into Palestine.
-
In 1897, the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland declared, "Zionism seeks for the Jewish people a publicly recognized legally secured homeland in Palestine" (Basel Program).
-
Everything that the Zionists did after that became an International conspiracy to steal land.
-
And instead of meeting in Palestine to "buy land," the Zionists congresses met with mostly the British and White Europeans for almost 30/40-years in places like Basle, Switzerland; London, England; and The Hague, Netherlands ... everywhere EXCEPT in Palestine.
-
The early Zionist Congresses used German and Yiddish as their main languages, and later used English, French, and Russian, which kept the people living in Palestine misinformed.
-
For over 1,000 years, White Europeans expelled or murdered Jews. No one really wanted Jewish people in their own country so when the Zionists decided to steal land in Palestine in the 1890s, mostly White Americans and Europeans conspired to help them. They had everyone in their back pocket before the people living in Palestine understood what was going on.
-
None of the countries in the Middle East supported this plan. The people living in Palestine were never fairly advised or consulted and when they understood, they protested. Zionists ignored them.
-
If I wanted to “buy land” in New York City, I would NOT go to Europe for 30/40 years to make deals.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899) was an American lawyer, orator, and political leader known for his broad influence during the Golden Age of Freethought in the late 19th century. Often referred to as "The Great Agnostic," Ingersoll was a staunch advocate of secularism, skepticism, and humanistic philosophy, challenging orthodox religious beliefs and the literal interpretation of the Bible.
-
Born in Dresden, New York, Ingersoll was the son of a Congregationalist minister. His early life was marked by frequent moves due to his father's controversial theology, which often put the family in conflict with various church congregations. Ingersoll studied law and passed the bar exam in 1854, embarking on a successful legal career. He also became involved in politics, aligning with the Republican Party and supporting Abraham Lincoln.
-
Ingersoll's fame primarily stemmed from his skills as an orator. His public speeches, advocating for scientific skepticism and criticizing religious doctrine, drew large crowds and stirred significant controversy. He was a defender of civil rights and argued for the equality of women and African Americans. Despite his criticisms of religion, he was noted for his advocacy of kindness, love, and family.
-
Ingersoll's influence extended to various areas, including politics, religion, and civil rights. He was a prolific speaker and writer, and his lectures and essays contributed significantly to the spread of free thought and secularism in the United States. His legacy is remembered for his eloquent advocacy of reason and humanistic values over religious dogmatism.
Ha! This nonsense again? Typical right-wing stupidity.
-
Any time right-wing nuts can insinuate or imply that young people are fat, lazy, stupid, too easily offended, too violent, too anti-American, or just want "entitlements," they will do it.
-
Spanking may lead to aggression; spanking may turn your kid into a bully; spanking may lead to depression; spanking may lead to decrease language skills; spanking may lead to diminish brain development; spanking may turn your kid into a coward who will rollover or kowtow to anyone they think is superior or stronger to them.
-
Where do you idiots draw the line? Is a slap in the face okay? How about a kick in the butt? Is it okay to spank a child right after you had a bad day at work? Is it okay to spank a child when you are really mad at someone else? Is hitting a dog okay? Is it okay to spank your wife?
-
I guarantee it. Once they convince weak-minded people that it is okay to hit children, they will want to spank women and beat animals too.
-
Don't be so stupid. Read a book or look it up.
-
Parents have beaten their kids senseless since homo sapiens became a species. It didn't stop wars; it didn't stop massacres and holocaust; it didn’t stop juvenile delinquency; and it didn't reduce crime.
-
There is something seriously wrong with you if you think that spanking or hitting a kid is okay in the 21st century.

Jewish people were celebrated terrorists long before any Muslim:
-
Read Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. Moses and the “Israelites” were nothing but a raging and violent army that killed people and stole land.
-
That 40 years "wandering in the wilderness" nonsense ... actually that time was used to murder boys and kidnap girls to build an army (Numbers 31:1-18).
-
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up into the Negeb and go up into the hill country, and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not (Numbers 13:1-14:38).
-
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves (Numbers 31:1-18).
