[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prefer our economy to be robust such that people are not reliant on government jobs to survive. Republicans seem pro government jobs and that this is where we should be pushing our kids rather than private sector, for the salaries, benefit, and lifelong pensions on the taxpayer dime?? Do you hear yourselves? [/quote]

“Those people” are in the “moocjing government jobs”

“Our people” are “public servants.”

Get it yet? [/quote]

Firefighting and law enforcement isn’t for the “me, me” generation that wants to WFH and post on Instagram about living their best life. It’s for resilient people [b]that aren’t afraid[/b] of in person work, long shifts, and have the ability to work under life and death pressures.[/quote]

[b]Bolded is a weird way of saying “can’t find an easier job that pays as well or better.[/b]”[/quote]

Bolded is a weird comment that the poster probably thought was some sort of flex. Imagine a parent championing the easy way out for their children? Those are the parents churning out low skill, low will workers.[/quote]

No, they’re churning out Fortune 500 employees that make twice as much to WFH three days a week. Sorry you bought into the puritan worldview instead of the epicurean one.[/quote]

Right. The DCUM fallacy. Everyone’s child is a superstar. It’s cute. IB & PE for everyone. Silicon Valley is full of kids from Fairfax.

It’ll be interesting as AI eats away at “Fortune 500” jobs, but not the firefighter and police jobs.

Not everyone. But for plenty of us it isn’t that hard. Might be for you, which is why you don’t get it. Enjoy those long shifts, you resilient person you.[/quote]

What a zinger![/quote]
