Quote from Max E. Pad:
Its pretty simple, the teachers union in Chicago for example, they average around 60-70k/ year plus a benefit/retirement package that someone in the private sector would have to save at least a couple million in order to to retire the same way.....
So the cities like Chicago have 2 choices which both end up killing off the host, either you raise taxes in order to keep going down the same path and paying these teachers ridiculous wages, in which case businesses leave for a more friendly environment, or you try to reign them in and the teachers unions inevitably choose layoffs over pay cuts in which case you get a garbage school system, inevitably both things happen together......
And where do these public sector union ass holes go once they get laid off since the other city can no longer afford them? Places like Peoria, or else more conservative states where they can still hire teachers cause they can afford it, cause they havent allowed them to take control quite yet....... but then too many of these beaurecrats move to the new host city and the cycle just repeats itself......
Mean while, there really is no hope for a place like Detroit anymore, once you kill the goose that was laying the golden egg, it is gone forever, there is NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, who would move a business into that scenario, so places like that end up being gone forever, there is a point of no return, lawlessness combined with bureacrats, and parasites hits critical mass, and there is simply no way to turn it around. Chicago is fast approaching that area.....
