Great read
The problem of course is politics. The Democrats and some Republicans rely on public worker unions — state and city employees — for votes. The politicians take good care of the public worker unions — I’m not talking about union electricians, carpenters and plumbers, etc. — and the public unions vote the politicians in election time.
Who gets left out? Everybody else.
“This is what’s breaking us,” Dabrowski said. “I’m not trying to be mean. I’m just trying to be factual. You’ve got one class of workers in this state with guaranteed long-term contracts, with guaranteed pay and guaranteed pensions, that’s a big class.
“And there’s a second class that doesn’t have any of those protections, the private sector, they’ve lost their jobs (due to the coronavirus shutdown), we’ll be getting to the point where we’ll have close to a million job losses soon, losing pay, and yet they’re still required, right now to continue to pay for that first class.

Tell/support a lie once, and all your truths become questionable.
