Warning, contains video with sound.
\_ Which is irrelevant. Public sector workers are paid by private
sector workers. Given the # of public workers, it's unsustainable.
\_ Nah, if anything Americans are undertaxed compared to other
advanced economies.
\_ I <3 how the sodans I know who are in public sector have had stable
jobs for what going on _two_decades_ while the priv sector ones have
had rollercoasters of job hopping and ulcers.
\_ ah yes I can see how all these depressed employees at Googleplex
hate their careers, benefits and 20% hobbies. They should go to
the big government so that they can feel happy doing outdated
"jobs" from 9-5 and talk down on private sectors.
\_ I didn't know we were talking about grad school.
\_ Do you include the ones who are multi-millionaires and retired?
\_ Nope, since the multi millionaires/retired at 30 people i know
are all super depressed and spend their time hopped up on
psych meds, oh and yeah they were all priv sector. I'm
including tho all the people i know with well balanced lives
with good familial relationships, and chill lifestyles.
\_ but i WAAAAAAANT to carry my blackberry into the toilet
