“What are unemployed public servants going to do?”
Although I had to retire from the DMAX factory, back in 2007, existing in West Carrollton since then has not been Heaven. Forty years ago, I was paying my [IUE Local 801] dues and shooting screws on the “tracks” at Frigidaire. Recently, while sitting at a coffee counter beside one of my coffee-bum consultants [a public-service retiree of The Base], I was once again rhetorically asked for the thousandth time: “What are ‘those guys’ [i.e., my unemployed former coworkers and similar functionally-illiterate lazy spoiled unskilled unionized factory workers] going to do now?”
After remembering and mentioning a few of the “outside” abilities, interests, occupations and talents that some of my former coworkers [including many military veterans] had, I in turn asked my coffee-bum buddy: “What are these government workers going to do when they have to get real jobs?”
I guess that, since there are not enough similar noble selfless private-sector genius jobs [or old-fashioned blue-collar jobs and dollars] to go around Dayton town, at least within the local service and retail economy, unemployed public servants will have to move to Georgia and start over. I mean, we all can’t work at The Base or for The Welfare State…or work real hard as associates, food preparers/servers or security guards.
