re: Private Sector vs state employment

My business often interacts with state & federal employees. I couldn't disagree with you more. The majority of them barely work.

Agreed. Have contracted tens of millions of dollars with state and federal agencies, and while the state workers are FAR better than the feds, overall, both have no sense of enterprise. That's not necessarily always the individual's fault, because the government doesn't produce anything but only takes in order to give, but to say government employees know about the hustle and bustle just the same as an individual in free enterprise who has to go out and kill in order to eat, is laughable.

The only collective that's worse is electric utility power companies, but they're so subsidized and intertwined with the government that I personally and professionally consider them one and the same.
