Take It To The Bank

[Floorslapper]

I'm trying to figure out how Ners has been allowed to turn this into a political thread.

As if he wasn't already annoying enough ruining basketball threads with his ignorance on that subject.

So whiny.  Per usual, when you don't like the "take" you complain and assign blame on me - when any debate takes two sides.  We are exchanging idea and opinions.  So sad that when one shares an opinion opposite of your own, your feeble mind submits all of "ignorance."

This is how the world is today.  My opinion and anyone with a differing one is pounded, or worse.  But that doesn't change you have done the same thing, I'm sure we all have.  Whomever shouts loudest wins?  Whomever denigrates the other side wins?

You turned it into a public sector vs private sector debate, which had absolutely nothing to do with the subject that had been discussed. You hurled insults. You made it political. And now you are trying to shift goalposts to deflect from your own "crimes."

But again, it's always everybody else. Never the guy you see when you look in the mirror.

Here's the deal:  Sultan hurls insults my way frequently, much like you, T-Smith34, and the rest of the public sector clan.  Usually I let them slide.  I chose to respond in kind in this thread.  Sultan has taken multiple shots at me and the business I started, many times here.  I finally responded in kind.  He's a small time, university, PR guy.  Never employed or created one job.

This didn't start as a debate. It started with you using another poster's livelihood as an insult.

Sultan definitely hurls insults at you frequently. No denying that. But in this thread this started because he asked you why you thought Deonte Burton and John Dawson weren't "choir boys", a reasonable question given your premise that Buzz played other players over them because they were "choir boys." (I am curious about the answer to this because by all accounts Deonte and Dawson were great representatives of the university).

He did say it was pretzel logic, but I don't know if that would even qualify as an insult. If it did, its certainly not on the same level as "small-minded, sheltered, limited world-view guy, who works in academia."

Wrong.  Fiscally conservative.  Mostly socially liberal (gay marriage, pro choice, gun control all okay in my world.)

Don't follow political media much at all, had never heard of Mercatus.  Know little of Koch brothers.

Couldn't find alternative sources/explanations as to where government derives its funding from, beyond what I'd pointed out:  Private sector business/taxpayers.  Printing more money isn't the answer.

If you do not know the sources don't use them. Linking sources you don't know is not smart.

Let's just say that working in academia is like working in the public sector - generally the best and brightest don't choose a career path where excellence is not rewarded.

Universities offer tenure and safe spaces.  It is next to impossible to get fired from a government job.  Just an entirely different world, and one radically different than the private sector (which is what actually innovates, creates, and funds the public sector - of which many universities are subsidized by.)

I agree with this analysis.

You're quite fragile, aren't you?

It's quite ironic - actually, the better word is hypocritical - that you accuse others of being whiny.

I do get a kick out of you labeling me as being part of the "public sector clan," as I never worked a day in the public sector in my life. Once again, Ners operating out of ignorance.

And - again - YOU turned this into a political thread. Nobody else did. But of course, you can't admit it.

Listen Dunning-Kruger, as usual you have no f'ing idea what you are talking about, but you're too ignorant to realize it.  I literally run my 34,000 person firm's entire portfolio of business with 2 of the Fortune 5 (five, not five hundred) companies.  I also fully understand the importance of the public sector and strongly support it.  Union workers freakin' built this country.

The propaganda you subscribe to exists for only one reason:  public sector employees and union members vote majority against a certain political party, therefore that party has engaged in a long-running effort to turn public opinion against those sectors.  If those voters began voting majority for your party, the propaganda attacks would instantly cease.  It has nothing to do with "efficiency" or "creating jobs", it is all about the money and votes.

Perhaps you should stick to the only topic you know anything about, your glory years as a high schooler, ok Uncle Rico?

Dumbass.

The public sector is way too large and is usurping value from the country. The tax and spend policies are nothing more than corrupt payoffs to further this parasitic behavior.

Unions had a viable role back at the turn of the 19th century  as an offset to sweat shops. Today they add no value and absolutely have no place in the public sector. In our company  We pay our non union employees the same as we pay union and get much better productivity and less bogus health claims from non union. Union guys just looking to feather their own nest. Will likely sell our union related location one day and move to another state.

I was also in the education world for many years on the board level and can testify with confidence that there is enormous institutionalized corruption . Public Education is a great gig if you can get it with lifetime raises, lucrative pensions , can't get fired and everything rises faster than inflation. The rest of society has to live under a completely different set of rules.
