Government jobs are like pork for "the community." It's something they feel entitled to. They don't want the teachers to be 40% black and 1% male to teach the students better. It's grift.
Obligatory addition that the US Postal Service is a literal government backed monopoly that makes market competition as a mail carrier illegal, because Lysander Spooner provided a better alternative to the USPS and started to run them out of business with a more efficient business.
It's the pinnacle of a government job and delusions of entitlement.
I lost my mind when Trump was questioning the safety of mail in voting and every leftoid started acting like the USPS was our greatest achievement as a country. They were even posting shitty corporate memphis cartoons about postmen. Seinfeld was cracking jokes about how useless they were back in the early 90s but I'm guessing the ineptitude can be traced to the mid sixties.
I didn't know that about Spooner. Will have to read up. Thanks.
Mid sixties? Which century, because the American Letter Mail Company (Spooner's competing mail carrier) started in 1844, before being outlawed in 1851. Postal ineptitude is their tradition, standing well over a century in age, and closer now to two centuries. 172 years since they outlawed competition because that's how incompetent they are.
And I can highly recommend reading up about Spooner's company, as well as the man himself who helped popularise the philosophy of anarchism (the ideology that most lolberts rely upon the most but never shed their ingrained statism to fully adopt). Even if you disagree with anarchism as an ideology, it's interesting to learn about none-the-less.
My mail carrier refuses to get anything from the boxes. They'll drop off stuff. Mostly junk mail but occasionally a package. I appreciate that. But if you drop an envelope in there with a stamp and put the flag up it just stays there. I know the post office has a key, cuz it's a USPS approved post box. Other than that I'm not sure what's wrong.
So I have drive all the way to post office to mail something, which isn't far, but it seems like kind of a waste considering that the post lady drives by almost every day.
As a licensed teacher I can state with absolute confidence that if you cannot pass any given state’s competency tests, you do not have any business being a teacher. Typically each state has tests for baseline knowledge of reading, writing, and math, as well as a subject specific test to make sure you have above average knowledge of whichever subject you plan to teach. If you cannot pass all of these tests, you are unfit. There should be no debate on this matter. The tests are absurdly easy, to the point that you would honestly have to be lower than 90 IQ to not get a passing score of 70%.
An interesting phenomenon is that while the majority of students suffer from an ever increasing deluge of unqualified idiots, the Catholic and Private schools across the country are reaching out and poaching any remaining qualified teachers still in the system. With the rise of tuition for such institutions and the fact that courts often undermine state initiatives for choice in education, which would allow lower and middle income families to receive state sponsored tuition assistance towards such schools, I wouldn’t call a man crazy if they suggested this was by design. I’m sure many feel as I do, that there is a concerted effort to create a new aristocracy and reduce the other 99% of the population to becoming a bunch of fucking Morlocks.
they sockpuppet the defense on these ridiculous discrimination cases, taking on billions in liability, to act as precedent to create laws elsewhere. any remotely competent attorney could have handled this case. but they didn't want a competent attorney... they wanted to lose for a political result.
If you can't do, teach. If you can't teach, cry to the government for gibs.

My favorite example of that is the post office and DMV. Not only are they completely incompetent, they are openly hostile.

"Should we invest in schools or youth centers in impoverished neighborhoods?"
"No, lets pay unqualified failures, that'll fix things!"
Wouldn't help. There's no correlation between money spent and educational outcomes.
Education starts in the home. If it doesn't start there, it doesn't start at all.
There is a correlation. It's negatively correlated. Because big cities have more money and worse demographics.
Still, I'd prefer to see the money go towards schools rather than whatever this bullshit is.
Why race to the bottom when you can cry and receive handouts while being carried there?
Per person, the entire settlement was 1.8 billion
We should make sure more people get boosted and boosted and boosted.
New York City exists to fund the failures of the diversity crowd, as the recent and current mayor have showed.
this is just straight embezzlement at this point.
