Topic	The sad thing about this government shutdown is how many lives are disrupted.

It's a perk that oftentimes makes up for the compensation premiums that an employee could make in a similar job in the private sector. But not every federal position is guaranteed to make more in the private sector, or necessarily has that flexibility in work-life balance. You forgot the part where the unions of the public sectors are ridiculously powerful and often prevent the termination of ridiculously incompetent, lazy, and all-around bad employees. An employee working for a private company can be easily fired for a single offense if it is remotely bad for business. A public worker? Good luck getting rid of them for an equivalent offense. Honestly, what bothers me the most is the lack of check and balance that asswipes in the public sector rarely have to deal with. And when there are remotely slight annoyances in their lives, the people pay with their displeasure since they know that they're unlikely to get fired short of killing someone. I'll leave out the parts of rampant corruption, bias in hiring, illegally covering for each other, and the fact that public servants often have DIRECT influence on people's very lives, as well as being paid directly by the aforementioned people's taxes. Thank god recording people is becoming a thing and there are now less chances of public servants being able to lie about how the act and cover each other up. Do these happen in the private sector? Absolutely. But since a private company requires a certain level of efficiency to grow, there are consequences for acquiring and keeping second rate workers. Public sector? Not so much since you're just wasting taxpayers money anyway! I remember the last time I had to actually deal with many public servants, nurses in the hospital. Do you know how great it is to know that your taxes are going to pay for 5-6 whiny nurses who spent at least an hour whining about their job instead of, you know, actually nursing people? And before you cry about it again, #notallpublicservants. There, I saved you the predictable "WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT" defense. --- "Whatever!
