Dress Code

I'm talking personal profit, as in pay, pension, and job security. In
my experience, government entities (and their employees) are primarily
concerned with self-replication, not "public interest".

You think your employees are different? They are doing it for the paycheck. Don't believe me? Ask them if they would work for you for nothing, just for the public service of helping to keep the rooms clean.

Jose, for the last week or so, using Agent as my newsreader. your
posts fail to wordwrap. Is that something I can fix on my end?

Select Word Wrap on the View pull-down menu.

Select Word Wrap on the View pull-down menu.

Thanks. It's actually in the "Message" PD Window, and it doesn't
affect Jose's posts.

That's probably because you are running a newer version than me.

It should wrap the text to the right boundary of the message pane,
instead of forcing you to use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom
of the pane to view the end of his lines.

I had reset my format to not wrap. Hard returns can be a pain, and I
didn't think there were many people with readers that don't autowrap.
I'm not familiar with Agent, so can't help you on that end, but I've
reset it again to wrap at 72.

Your posts did the same for me using Xnews.

Jose, your post haven't made much sense to me these past few weeks, either.

Wordwrap issues?
No, that part's fine. :-)

You've inverted his response, Jose. Your response would be to explain how
government employees WOULD clean restrooms for free since their service is
NOT profit oriented.

Once people learn that human nature is self-serving, all this BS about
"public interest" would be seen for the fraud that it is.

Of course they aren't different, in that regard. But, unlike the
Gummint, we don't go around pretending to be doing stuff for the
"public good" when, in fact, it's being done to line their pockets and
to perpetuate their own existence.

You, as a citizen, also have a CHOICE as to whether you pay for my
employees salaries (by choosing to stay here), unlike the coercion
perpetuated by a government that makes us pay for their employees (I'm
referring to all gummint employees -- not just ATC) whether we use them
or not.

Really, when you get right down to it, comparing employees from the
private sector with the public sector is ridiculous. One group is
highly efficient merit-based employment, while the other is
cradle-to-grave employment. There is simply no comparison between the
two.
