The traditional trade-off for robust job protections and generous pension packages for government workers has been the gap between private-sector salaries and public-sector salaries.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
That has disappeared, as government salaries have increased to ridiculous levels…cops making $400k\/year, lifeguards on Los Angeles beaches making $500k, teachers with Ed. Ds (a doctorate for making dioramas?) making $250k, and bureaucrats in bloated state governments, doing work that just a generation ago was done by clerks, making similar salaries.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
But…or so the argument goes…we need to pay these people well otherwise we would lose their skills to the private sector! You know, like the functionary in Hawaii whose chaotic personal politics may have been responsible for the deaths of many people.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

What we have in Hawaii is the perfect storm of generations of Democrat hiring practices, which are nothing more than political payoffs, coupled with the stark and obvious inability of these politicized civil servants to…you know…DO THEIR JOBS! They are far more interested in pushing the latest Woke nonsense, and of course, protecting the precious environment that they themselves devastated with their awful and short-sighted policies controlling fire mitigation and water use.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n
And then they lie about it!<\/strong><\/em> Here is the<\/span> <\/em>Maui Times editor on the media blackout concerning the Maui “wildfires<\/em>“<\/a><\/span> and the government’s total clampdown on information.<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
Hell, the last time I checked there were a few military bases in the Hawaiian Islands, and my guess is that the United States Marine Corps could help out a little bit…if they were asked by the governor. But he hasn’t. All he has done is asked the Coast Guard to monitor environmental impacts because that is obviously more important than the lives of the Hawaiian people.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n
