re: #239 insert name here

I’m not sure where your number regarding “paid more than the private sector workers” is coming from, but I can tell you that, as a private sector worker, I was making much more (over 2x) than my “age equivalent” public sector friends here in California.

I think he is upset that public sector job security means that people who still have jobs are paid more than private sector workers who got laid off.

It’s a very pervasive piece of cognitive dissonance whereby people who took the “get rich quick” side of the deal for years then turn around and bitch about the “steady and slow” folks who now happen to be doing better than them.
