why do cons despise government workers, but “support” the military?

[Harry Dresden]

They're private and have to satisfy customers and the USPS doesn't give a rip. They stay in business no matter what. Just look at the massive losses racked up by the USPS.

I have been a Realtor in the panhandle of Florida for over forty years. I go back to when the only way I could get documents to, say Miami and back in two days was, 1. Drive them there and back (1 day, 1,000 miles) or 2. Put the documents in a manila envelope or equal. Take to the local Greyhound bus station. Pay an enormous fee. The Miami bus then takes the envelope to the designated Miami post office. The recipient then went to the bus station, picked up the package and took it somewhere to find a notary, sign, witness and notarize the documents. Back into an envelope, back to the bus station, pay another fee, a bus takes envelope back to the Panhandle bus station. The agent goes to bus station picks up the envelope and takes it to the closing. Instant closing, only three days MAYBE two.

The USPS is much like all other brick and mortar businesses which were either driven out of business or were dragged kicking and screaming to providing additional services.

So far behind was/is the USPS one day service is that they lease space on FedEx and UPS aircraft.

UPS tops FedEx in customer satisfaction, as Amazon appears on the horizon

USPS customer satisfaction rises as UPS and FedEx slide

As to the losses comment:

While it’s true that letter mail has declined, technology has led to a rise in package delivery stemming from e-commerce — and the overall result has been sufficient to produce operating profits in three of the past four years, averaging nearly $1 billion annually. That, mind you, without a dime of taxpayer money; by law, USPS relies on earned revenue for its operations. So if USPS takes in more money than it spends on normal business expenses (including health benefits and pensions), why is there red ink? The answer has little to do with technology or employees and everything to do with flawed public policy. In 2006, Congress mandated that USPS do something no other U.S. entity, public or private, is required to do: pre-fund future retiree health benefits decades into the future. That $5.8 billion annual charge accounts for almost all postal “losses.”

The military provides a needed service. Most other services can be provided by the private sector (at half the cost).

Yup. If half the Fed workers disappeared tomorrow no one would notice.

Loads of what they do could be done by the private sector.

Why do you think nobody would notice when the private sector took over those duties?

Where has privatizing sectors ever worked out? Private prisons are a disaster , private airport security lead to 911, private schools don’t take special needs kids.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

My Son is a Firefighter over here and they have a strong Union.All the admin and ancillary staff get the same benefits because the Union rightly considers them to be one team. They get paid regardless of who is in government. that is civilised behaviour.

The question is what is the worth of being a firefighter? There will be many who defend it. But taxes are enormous in many communities and where the most work is done is in areas where there are not much in taxes paid. And then there are the medical squads. Like taxis to hospitals in manya reas while the middle class pays through the nose to get the same service.

So you dont want firemen or ambulances ? Wow !

Of course I do. But at a reasonable price. Wow!!! People are always scammed. I know. Firemen run in when others run out. But that is for the most part only busy areas of our nation. Its to expensive now. And since we support a permanent underclass it will only get more expensive. Anyway the system will collapse and firemen becoming millionaires will end. Saul Alinsky lives with you....Servicing second and third world areas of our nation at extreme costs is stupid. A collapse will cut checks by at least a half and up to 85% from what I read on pensions alone. There are many people who were firemen who did very little in their careers. And are living the life of riley. Like the useless cop at the school in the South Florida school shooting.

I sort of think that the lives of poor people are as important as the lives of rich people. I know that probably makes me a commie but policing , healthcare , health and safety, clean air and water should be available to all.

wrong--they are not
my dad worked for the government and he said there were a lot of lazy bums
the military is TOTALLY different
you are godamn out of your mind to think differently
did you serve?

I did. I was in the Marine Corps from 1997-2002. Am I worthy to have an opinion? If not then ignore the next sentence. If I am worthy then I think I was absurdly overpaid. I was making way more money than other 21 year olds throughout the country.

you think you were over paid?
we were under paid in the 80s
what was your yearly salary?

I had no expenses except haircuts and razors. Everything else was provided. I still made $1,600 a month on top of that. That means I had about $1,500 of disposable income a month and boy did we dispose of it. Local businesses around bases like our bloated paycheck but I think the average taxpayer is getting the shaft. I even received over $40,000 worth of education when I got out.

By the way. The military gets too much glory too. A cop's job is way more dangerous than a Marine in uniform. On top of that, he doesn't get 15-20 year breaks in 'peace time'. I think cops should get more pay and more praise than military.

In what REMF role did you serve?

So you despise everyone in the military but the front line combat troops?

Damn son, you are back to this...have you not embarrassed yourself enough?

Not a word from me about Marine's not being a ships...not one.

And how did I not know what an 0341 was when I correctly called you a "grunt".

You are the fraud that thinks the FMF is only Marines on ships, so you should quit while you are behind.

Click to expand... What is going on here? Both of you answer this question to me in a PM. Who trains at fourth battalion at Parris Island? I will determine who the real Marine is.

Sure thing lord god almighty.

lol. They are both accusing each other of lying about their service in the Marine Corps. I think I can ask one or two simple question and see who is lying. Were you in the Marine Corps too?

You're a legend in your own mind, just ask you.
Nope, different branch.

Do I know you? What's up with all the fancy sassy passive aggressive mumbo jumbo? You mad bro?

I had no expenses except haircuts and razors. Everything else was provided. I still made $1,600 a month on top of that. That means I had about $1,500 of disposable income a month and boy did we dispose of it. Local businesses around bases like our bloated paycheck but I think the average taxpayer is getting the shaft. I even received over $40,000 worth of education when I got out.

By the way. The military gets too much glory too. A cop's job is way more dangerous than a Marine in uniform. On top of that, he doesn't get 15-20 year breaks in 'peace time'. I think cops should get more pay and more praise than military.

Were you at 4th Battalion or 1st Battalion in Marine Corps boot camp?

 

[Votto]

they are the same thing. We haven’t had a draft in 40 + years . We don’t have volunteers, we have a professional military . They are just as much fed employees as some border patrol worker .

Why do cons have this double standard with fed workers ?

And for that matter , why is the military being paid during the shutdown?

I think I know the answer.

If you compare government employees vs. private ones, you will find that government employees on average make far more than those in the private sector. There is also more competition in the private sector while government jobs are secure as ineptitude flourishes. As a result, government employees on average seem to be entitled and vote Dim

Those in the military, however, are often thrown into wars across the globe that are unwinnable and often not funded well enough to protect those soldiers as they should be. They also don't make crap and many find themselves homeless once they get out.

The ones I really feel sorry for though, are the ones who are injured and depend on government health care to help them. They often find themselves either out of luck with the government paying for it, like those who suffered from Agent Orange or the Gulf War Syndrome, or they are given subpar care like we saw with the famous Arizona VA scandal.

1997-2002. I trained in 4th Battalion at Parris Island. I was also stationed at the arm pit of the Marine Corps. Do you know where that is?
