Imagine working on taking Z library down as your day job and still sleeping at night. Scum of the earth.
Lol what? You're saying government jobs rarely provide value to society?
Police officer: yes.
Fireman: no.
Yeah but the person I responded to already separated out LEO into their own category. They were saying that police and all other government jobs add nothing
There are more countries in the world besides America, where any chump can get into "law enforcement" after 6 weeks of trainning.
In most of the world, getting a badge implies a serious and throughrough selection and scrutiny process.
You have obviously never worked as a police officer and are making this up.
Grew up surronded by law enforcement
As a criminal or family member? I guess either way I was still right.
"Most of the world"? Really? Maybe in the developed world I guess, but definitely not in "most of the world." In most of the world law enforcement is very much a pay for service business like any other. Well, in a lot of the world anyway.
I would believe "in many countries", but not "in most in the world", sorry.
We're obviously talking about US police.
Nah. All police boil down to the state having an exclusive right to enforce their whims with violence, and protecting the oppressive class, by using violence on the oppressed. I've yet to see a country where this isn't the case. The US cops are just better armed than most other cops, so they make the news for their state sanctioned crimes more often.
Those darn park rangers
Meh government jobs can be depressing from what I've heard. The big thing is that many who work in government have watched over the years how multiple parties and various personalities fail to bring meaningful change and I can only imagine how depressing it is. It is no doubt that a government job, much like teaching is meant to be symbolic as a position of caretaking so to speak, but one with more authority than real inspiration and information.
The next big thing in my mind is the evolution of government systems, ie the human body and mind has already managed to become versatile enough to adapt itself across a variety of ecosystems, the next big thing will be how our systems adapt to the human circumstances on a large scale in a manner that will not be controlled or directed by a single authority like a government, but by a anarchic democratic meritocracy where the more material knowledge and capability you can provide the group the more information and transparency is given to you for further investment into the system you are part of or rely on.
Yes I'm drunk lol
You can't even imagine the amount of problems a simple grunt can cause in any given process, without going against orders.
Following due process is often enough to bog down processes to a point whatever is being done is rendered useless when finally achieved.

Speak for yourself. ACAB.
