The way things are looking you really feel that good about this? I think I would rather be in the private sector.

Let’s put it this way. If the government was a private company you worked for how would you feel about their balance sheet?


I would like to agree with you but unless some monumental changes are made in the Imperial City the government worker is much more secure than the private sector worker......and that shouldn't be the case.

I was just trying to point out that all of this stuff is good for someone but for the regular person in this economy coming up, it's going to be truly fricking hell. And really I do feel bad for folks. I just postered because they're taking it out on me and I shouldn't have. Honestly I don't blame them. When you get pissed you have to direct that anger somewhere I suppose. I blame the Democrat and RINO led groups that are the true Deep State. By over-fricking with the economy they have screwed up the country and trying to blame everything on Trump to distract everyone.

I think more so he is a troll. First he says he works for the govt, then says his company has a 10 year contract that they must honor.

I’d be very surprised if the govt waived non-appropriations, especially for a 10 year contract.

Say they did and the gov’t received everything from a product and service standpoint in year 1 of the contract, cancelled, and the govt didn’t pay, they would then be in violation of the takings clause.

Balance sheet for a not-for-profit?

Private sector has higher pay/more risk.

I'm glad I got a well paying government job that just got extended with a 10 year contract. I'll be able to retire from here. And very comfortably.



OP thinks he’s safe.

But, I feel terrible for those who have to work in the private sector. This is not on the workers and business owners but on policy trying to overmanage the frick out of our country's economy to make sure muh equality.


Tell us again about your cushy government contract.
