I was at a union meeting the other day and the speaker had this great quote

“When you’re a public worker and politicians come around talking about lower taxes, that means they want to lay you off.”

And it’s true. I’m a librarian, so my wages come from tax dollars. Lower taxes means the library has to cut costs, and that means either lowering wages or laying people off. It’s a pretty direct cause and effect.

My dad was a mechanic for public school buses. The first time he took me to vote it was for a local election and he told me even if I did nothing else to vote to pass the budget so they could replace two school busses that were beyond repair so kids were safe.

Politicians who try to sell you on lower taxes are usually just trying to cut social services & public resources and screw over public workers.

100% I am trying to screw over public workers. If a public office is closed outside of business hours, it’s because they’re non-essential. If they’re non-essential, then the government shouldn’t be paying for it.

And I’m baffled that public workers are opposed to this? Do they not realize they would be able to hire more people AND get paid more if their position was part of a voluntary and free market and not some absurd bureaucracy?

Imagine how little candles must have cost in the 1700s. Must've been pretty cheap, right? With everyone using them all the time instead of electricity? Now think about how much they cost now. 20 some dollars for a candle. What if we could go back to when candles were cheap? Wouldn't you want that? What if we could make that happen.

A 13th century French Château, abandoned since the 1930s when a fire broke out and caused devastating damage. It has since been left to the elements, and nature has taken over.
