See? That's how it's done.








(Don't make me come back and be codependent by having to put a sarcasm on this.)

1. We've reached a tipping point. The idea seems to be going viral.

USA!

2. Ray Gun o mics again. Fire the workers, but throw them red meat to vote.

Woikers of the woild unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.

3. Gavin Newsom as a Reagan Democrat? Surely you jest?

7. My spouse works for the county we live in.

You would be surprised at the number of them who think lower taxes good/ govt. bad.


I. AM. NOT. KIDDING.

4. If these folks really want job security (meaning the mayor) he'd better reconsider that.

ANY government official that advocates this third world banana republic move should be TARGETED to be removed in the next election -- if not sooner.

Personally, I'd advocate gathering funds from the people he kicks out to do a deep check on HIS work *ethics* and see what can be dug up to convince him of the beauty of *early retirement*.

5. If he has "just cause" to fire them ...

then how could he justify hiring them back?

(actually, he probably couldn't ... and thus, he'd be able to say, "I can hire someone who will do the job for less. F*ck you.")

8. Actually, they need to lower some of their salaries as well as reduce

their workforce.

100k salaries for garbage collectors is unsustainable.

11. Really...

12. so? spew, spew, spew

13. until the garbage collectors decide not to do their work (a.k.a. "strike")

and then, watch the people who live near all that garbage start to complain ...

or how else does Mike Rowe become such a star? Dirty Jobs ...

6. Until I saw your post, I didn't realize the connection

between "firing workers" and "debt forgiveness".

Sorry I missed it earlier, as there have been many more substantial posts regarding this.
