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.

Military

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.

Biblical Abraham

Let’s start at the beginning.

According to the Tanakh and the Bible, scholars say Abraham was born in southern Iraq—or maybe Turkey.

Historically, Abraham, the mythical first patriarch of the Jewish people, never had any right to Palestine.

The Bible (often treated like a divine property deed) says “God” told Abraham to leave his family and homeland (Genesis 12:1).

My guess? Abraham was so crazy he either ran away or got kicked out.

Moses and the Israelites

Read Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua.

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.
