Who believes that? I don't think you'll find anyone who does.

School teachers.

Nonsense. They believe performance does matter, and they're sick of
teaching to tests that don't teach kids anything useful except maybe
how to take tests.

Taking tests is a very important skill but these teachers do not want
their salary tied to any measure of performance. They want to be paid
by credentials and time in grade.
Make that sound reasonable to me..
A totally out of touch teacher with 20 years on the job and a PhD, who
gets horrible results, makes 3 times as much as a new teacher who
connects with the kids and really gets something done in the
classroom. That is ridiculous.

It's just the way of the unions. When I got laid off from Finast I was
number two from the bottom of siniority, so I went second. At the same
time, I was consistently in the top ten percent of production, day after
day. At the same time the union worked very hard to keep guys caught
sleeping in the bathroom or stealing, earning a steady paycheck.

There is something inherently wrong with Unions taking millions from
their employees, handing it to politicians, and then going to those very
same Politicians for negotiations... Period.


We just had an article in the paper about suspended employees who were
still being paid. Their top example was a teacher who was suspended
for sexual assault on a faculty member, off on "suspension" for over a
year and still getting the $61,000 salary. Not bad money for staying
home and watching soaps all day. This person was reinstated, back to
teaching. What do you learn in that class?

So, because there's occasionally abuse of the system, that means the
system is bankrupt and should be discarded? Nonsense.

It happens every day, dear.

Nobody ever gets "everything" they're promised. It's the nature of
democracy and compromise to achieve the best for everyone.
So far the SS/MC recipients have received more than they were promised
but that is going to turn around.
So, you don't mind giving back some of your ill-gotten gains? Cool!
I fully expect to. It is already happening tho. They are taxing the
hell out of my "tax free" social security and when I get to Medicare I
expect the part B and "gap" insurance to be higher than it is now.
I have already been told part D is not as good as buying the
Medco/WalMart plan.
Since I don't really use any drugs, I don't care about that.

$25 a year pretty much covers my fish oil and a multivitamin every
day.
Why do you allow this little girl to suck you into these dumb off topic
discussions?

I enjoy bantering with Plume. The naivete of youth is always
refreshing.
Gee I didn't realize senility was considered an advantage! LOL

I am not the one who has trouble remembering what we were talking
about ;-)

It is a strange comment from a person who believes in the unions and
their policy of paying the oldest and longest serving employees the
most, regardless of performance.



BTW, are you also imposed to military personnel getting paid more the
longer they serve?

Most military people get promoted by performance reports and when they
are passed over too many times they are usually pressured to get out.


Yup, that's the way it's done.

And the way it should be.. If there was a union in the service those
"underperformers" would be handed a broom and a raise and be allowed to
work until retirement making more pay than the guys really doing the
work..;)

This from a little man whose only real job in life was working as an
unskilled laborer in a food warehouse.

And he couldn't hang onto that job.

Well, little man, to the best of my recollection, in all your years
here, you mentioned very little in the way of employment:

1. You said you worked in a food warehouse for, I believe, First
National stores. You lost that job.

2. You said you built small boats, but I suspect that was more of an
avocation than a vocation.

3. You swept out a barn.

4. You claim to be an executive of some sort of a shady sounding company
that allegedly resells some internet services, but your site extolling
same is chock-full of deceptive descriptions of facilities and gear.
Further, your site does not list any actual clients or samples of web
pages you allegedly have designed. This is interesting, because I have
two of my clients hosting their web sites on a legitimate hosting site,
and the host has long lists of clients and examples of its work product.

Now, did I miss an actual job of yours?

I'm not trying to put you down for the kind of work you've done. All
work is worthwhile, after all. I simply believe you are totally,
completely unqualified by way of education or work experience to offer
up judgments on the work or jobs of others.

Hell, man, you guys elected a governor who should be in federal prison.


Right next to Charlie Rangel but evidently crime does pay.

Who was censured and removed from the chairmanship of his committee.
Not much punishment, but certainly more than your governor got.

Oh, don't forget Newt. He was just reprimanded for the use of a
tax-exempt organization for political purposes and providing false
information to the House Ethics Committee.
