Boy did I miss out on the sweet gravy train of the constant burden to the taxpayer.
Dang.
I was a state employee for about 10 years and my comical salary wasn’t much of a burden to taxpayers.
These days I’m glad I bit the bullet and learned how to fix computers to move on and up and away.
I had long winded technical title and lived a spartan life in mortal terror of any unexpected bill over $50. A lot of low level types like me were in the same boat. What ones I know are no better off now. I don’t doubt that many voted for the wun first, then pickles or the bern later.
If you were an inner circle favorite, the situation was very different. Good things would come and did. The right last name, right school, or lick the right boot buys very little to sweat.
