Alas, remember the days when a government job was low paying but with the promise of early retirement and good benefits? Now they have it all. It has been shown that employment in the private sector no longer pays as much as the equivalent job in the public sector. And as we have witnessed, there appears to be no accountability in those government jobs. Do the incompetent ever get fired for poor performance? Never. Not to detract from the tragedy of the disastrous California wildfires, but it was disclosed that the LA firefighter’s average salary is $200K with an additional $90K in benefits, retiring at 55 years of age with 90% of their final salaries. They are no longer considered conscientious public servants but highly paid public employees exorbitantly and unconditionally rewarded by us, the private sector taxpayers, via quasi-philanthropic politicians to garner approval and votes.
