In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

A Problem I See Developing

If things go as planned by the next administration, there will be numerous people finding their time in public sector employment has ended. The problem I see is that a substantial number of them have absolutely no skill to offer to the private sector. Otherwise, they'll be faced with the same thing those in the private sector faced after the confiscatory taxes, inflation, loss of jobs, and bureaucratic punishment with regulations. I guess I should feel sorry for them, but after watching my career stumble over the years due to their efforts, my compassion is pretty thin. That, and the snarky comment to those that lost jobs that suggested they need to learn to code.

 If there is any justice, the first thing Congress should do is cut their pay by 30%. That, and take away the perks they abuse. Will they? Of course not. They created this mess, grew it for decades, and ignored their responsibility. They'll pontificate, promise things, act busy and collect their salary. That, and vote themselves a raise during the next session.
