I am in for increasing funding for teachers and decreasing ways to abuse the retirement system for govt/state employees. Teachers should be respected as much as doctors in this country. If you think otherwise something is wrong with you.1 point

^^ this. My beef with the system is that it's the retirement plans of a lot of public service jobs like teachers and law enforcement are able to spend more time retired and drawing a nice pension for longer than the years they contributed. I have a friend who worked for 25yrs with Perry Township Police. He recently retired and "worked the system" by putting in tons of overtime and paid gigs his last three years knowing his retirement was based on the average of his highest three years. His best year was nearly 80k and at age 47 retired with 60% of that for the rest of his life. Kicker is the Township rehired him in another role making some very nice money. Combined with his retirement and benefits, he's making some serious coin and living a nice life. Not bad for a beat cop. He's in great shape and will likely live into his mid to upper 70's thus enjoying a 60% payroll check for longer than he put in. On top of that, he's also occupying a position that a non-retired person could have instead. It's this type of "working the system" that is strapping states for cash. FUCK the .5% tax Coleman pulled in to support the force today. BULLSHIT...free up the money that retired guys are reaping in and adding to their now new-found careers and have the state fund the public sector as they should. It's even worse for teachers. With a majority of them women, living much longer than the current retirement plan was intended to be supportive of, made possible by great health benefits, etc...STRS is also going broke trying to support those that are retired. So now they are strapped when it comes to trying to educate our kids today. FUCK ANY levy they try and pass. I'll be damned if they are going to bullshit me in that they need the money for schools and programs left and right. Stop funding the posh retirements of all those people who only had to put in 30yrs and can easily reap retirement for 30 more. Raise the number of years for an employee to put in to 40yrs and fix what is broke instead of trying to have me fund their retirements. I have my own retirement and family to provide for.1 point

Exactly. I could get behind a bill that directly cut costs somehow, even if those costs came out of state pension and benefit programs. But SB5 doesn't actually cut any costs, it just eviscerates union rights with no clear goal or reason. It's the most transparent ideological misdirection I've seen in a long time. If the state sucks so much at negotiating that they need to make the playing field ludicrously lopsided in their favor, maybe we need better negotiators. To the OP: I have no optimism that anything will change. Netflix will go back to fucking their customers once everyone's had a chance to get used to the idea. Bank of America will find another way to fuck their customers with fees without being so public about it. And the gov't will make a big show about listening to OWS or the Tea Party but the next crop of politicians is going to act exactly like the current crop.1 point

Crom and Odin answer my prayers. Your atheist god is weak and puny compared to the combined power of mine. They have dictated my only goal in life is to crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentation of their women! I was stricken with karma diseases to remind me of the weakness that is in all men and to overcome it with prayers and pharmaceuticals! I have prevailed! I know you dispair as you will never reach this level of being. It is hard to accept that greater men roam free and your atheism is a self imposed prison of mind rape. I will pray you accept a warriors focus before it is too late. As for evil, it is in us all. It is a tool to be used to accomplish that which your mother would not approve of and once the deed is done we shut it away till needed again. All jack booted thugs know and accept this!1 point

You know what I like to do? Read a 20 page thread (2 pages if you're NinjaNick) about that a tool I am, then make another thread acting like I knew nothing about the first thread hoping no one will call me on it.1 point

Back in my day (oldguyvoice): when you had shit lying around, you sold it for cheap to get rid of it. Now these ass-hats are selling new goods at retail+. You used to be able to bid a few hundo on a car and have a chance at it. Now, we're setting reserves higher than blue book. Again, personally, eBay holds no appeal.1 point

Dude he has a 4 runner and just bought Starbucks, you know he owns that road and you do not matter1 point

So this morning I'm cruising in my 4runner and decide that 4 Venti quad pumpkin spice lattes arent enough, and I need another. So I go to pull in to starbucks but this shitstain in a pontiac sunfire or something starts pussyfooting around. I jump forward because he won't make up his mind, but his tampon must've been chafing because he gets out of his car and starts trying to bro down outside my car. I tell him he's not supposed to leave his car running in the street, as it's a safety hazard, but he just keeps screaming something about ground clearance and curbs. I told him I had plenty of ground clearance to hop it but I didn't want to destroy the grass. Anyways, the cops show up and told me to just move along and they'll make sure the guy got the ass pounding he needed.1 point

Meh, teachers are over rated IMO. They are just a middle man between a student and a book. Except their book has all the answers in it already.-1 points
