That was in response to places you could work and do "just enough". Work on being less consistently wrong. Love your passion though.

Good God you're dense. I've never once said anything about teachers yet you keep bringing them up. And I'm not saying all government employees are assholes. I've focused much more on them being lazy. You get so hung on what you want to say, you're not even paying attention to what you're responding to. Take a deep breath.

Equating public and private sector efficiency is so obviously stupid, it's not surprising that you're doing it. It's exceedingly hard to get fired from a government job. Any idea what effect that has on performance? that's the difference in your supposed 20/80 split. As MIA pointed out, a large amount of government employees could not get comparable jobs in private sector and are unfireable. Again, guess what happens?

Do you know why most people go work at the VA Brisket? So they won't have to work as hard. Won't have people pushing them to get things done faster.

I didn't say every government job. I know there are important ones. I mentioned the DPS office and VA hospitals. I haven't worked at a DPS office, but they seem to be lazy af with little accountability. Next time you go, notice how they're talking about they just got off break or when their next break is while they're checking you out. I've worked at a VA hospital. They're notorious for being staffed by some of the most inefficient, lazy, unmotivated people you could imagine. I stand by that. Not everyone, but if that's your goal you'll fit in great there. I'll throw in the TSA. They fucking suck and never accomplish anything safety wise. Unpleasant, doing the bare minimum. If you want to Stan for the TSA, then have at it Brisket.

Lol this is the correct answer. Captain should work for a DPS office. Or maybe at a VA hospital. He’ll be surrounded by people putting a lot of effort Into doing the bare minimum. With predictable results. It sounds like the kind of work culture you would thrive in @Captainant

Good God man. Striving to do better is how we advance as a species. It's how you achieve personal growth.

Just shining a light is all. There's another thread about how unhappy young people are. A lot of reasons, can't afford home, can't afford higher education. The best way to beat inflation even on big ticket/high inflation items has been and will continue to be BTC. Maybe that's part of why I rest easily. Kind of sad how angrily people react when you aren't as stressed or neurotic as them. Going back to the original point, going to be pretty incredible when we get to 1 BTC=median house. People have had years of warning to get to 1 BTC. You wanna be at least a wholecoiner if at all possible.

MMMMM. The Lord's chicken. Never leftovers at our house.

These graphs explain a lot of this board's general vibe.

You're a hot mess. Kids don't have "fresh memories" of that. Again, no kids are acutely aware of, or worried about that, unless their parents or other adults bother them with it.

Oh he was definitely part of the problem and I include him. But way to jump to conclusions guys. Good job.

The people that ran covid response fucking wrecked this country. Good thing they're being held to account!

Just for fun here’s the chart of McDonalds earnings per share over time using it as a simple proxy for fast food prices/business. Has gone from pre Covid peak of 7.88 to 11.56. A 46% increase. CPI cumulative increase in that time is mid to upper 20s I believe. If you count CPI as bulletproof then that's a difference in the upper teens, percentage wise. Is that gouging? Judgment call I guess. If you think cpi underestimates inflation then definitely not. Either way, burgers don't cost $5 to make.

Lol. Remember basic sustenance should not be a profit center! Let's take the business out of producing mass quantities of food for the population. Maybe even hand the power over to the government. Not a bad idea. Has anyone thought of that before?
