Re: Vallejo,Ca. fireman and cops make 200k annual salary.edit

Truth be told, as often as I am critical of authorities of the ilk of cops, on general principle, the honest ones deserve $200,000 a year pay and more. At least on general principle, honest cops and firemen are doing something of actual, legitimate worth compared to, just one for instance a pro athlete. Yeah, I know, this can get confusing since pro athletes help improve the net worth of their owners and their owners owners - the media, but that is not the kind of worth I mean in this context.

In theory, cops and firemen have the job of saving lives among the masses. In theory that ought to be worth $200,000 a year and more, especially in California where cost of living is such tha $200,000 probably does not go as far or last as long as it once did. Meanwhile, pro athletes have the job of entertaining the masses which, over the long term, is in part all about devaluing the inherent worth of the individuals comprising the masses. Like pro football, boxing or other modern day version of Roman blood sport, pro athletes - the really good ones, in the process of doing their job end up harming or injuring lives, their own or preferably their competitors. This may in fact increase the entertainment value of the masses of fans, which indirectly increases the net worth of owners of pro athletes and the owners of owners (media, advertisers, etc) as well as professional doctors enlisted to do repair service upon these injured lives. Again, that kind of net worth, in my opinion, is not legitimate in this context.

As to the prospect of Vallejo being on the brink of banktruptcy, this too has become quite the dicey dualism that makes it difficult to pin down - what does bankrupt really mean anymore, anyway? For instance, if you view the one side of this duality, you will see an operation that on a routine yearly basis tallies hundreds of billions of budgetary deficit - spending what it does not have to spend, and on a historical year after year basis this remains unpaid to the toon of trillions and growing by billions in "interest" all the while... and all while there are similar entities all around the globe eager and anxious to extend even more debt/credit to this entity. BTW, that's some kind of interest, eh... a really interesting breed of interest, wouldn't you say? How nice it must be to be the kind of entity privileged to have that kind of interest available low these past 95 years.

Anyway, so we have this corporation up to it's neck in debt for decades with sibbling corporations world wide tripping over their tongues to lend it further into bankruptcy. It may occasionally pay a small percentage of it's total debt, at least, it pays down bits of the interest but never really does much damage to the steadily increasing principal. It merely makes occasional token payments towards portions of the interest. Worse, it generally does not have cash one, it does not jack cash, IE> it does not have doodly squat $ to use for paying it's obligations until it first appropriates funds by way of extorting it off the backs and out of the pockets of common people on the street; legalised theft. This theft occurs systematically to the extent that it is well known that this business corporation entity will threaten said commoners with kidnapping them into it's gulag while possibly inflicting bodily harm upon them if they do not cough up the requested cash being extorted from them so that said corporation can in turn pay down a few of it's bills. Moreso, while this business operation would much prefer the common people comply with this extortion, even if or when they do not, this operation can simply rely on a backup mechasnism built into this system; order the printing of new paper money from one of it's favorite du jour entities, "borrow it", at interest, and then begin spending it into circulation. Minus the glaring criminal elements, does this not generally describe and define a bankrupt operation? Does the average person on the street routinely consider and acknowledge, publicly, that this operation is in fact a specimen manifestation of what bankrupt looks like when looking it up in a genuine dictionary and as generally appliles to the business entity well known as U.S.G. Inc and or an agency formal, informal de jure, and or de facto therein?

Meanwhile, to the other side of this duality, do not at least some people look up to their U.S.G. Inc as a role model? Can they the people not try to emulate their heroes in U.S.G. Inc? This side of the dualism is more commonly made up of business entities - like common people, that are not state entities , per se', like a Vallejo is. A common person will generally not be able to get past a year or two of spending considerably more than what their bank account contained during the period. In fact, even when such a person does not themselves willingly declare bankruptcy, some other agency will soon come along to do this for them, and may well fine them additionally. This means the already bankrupt person now has yet more debt that they are unable to pay; more bankruput. Depending on how intentional.... premeditated, their bankdupt ways were carried out, they may even be put into debtors prison. If along the way to ending up basically bankrupt they were found to be extorting funds off of the backs and out of the pockets of their fellow common people, they will likely be forced to bypass debtors prison and sent to hard time - the big house, or the like, where hardened criminals are housed. If they had also availed themselves to printing their own money, then borrowing it from themeselves, at interest, and then loaning it out to their friend OR spending it themselves, their time in the big house will be increased dramatically for the high crimes of forgery and fraud. In other words, they will be even more bankrupted.

The really screwy character of this side of the dualism? In theory, it is said to be the boss of the other side, ya know?, that other side for which none of these crimes of criminal bankrupt behavior are ever enforced as crimes of bankrupt behavior. Go figure. Good luck Vallejo, you may stand a bit better chance at living up to your federal role model. Honest firemen and cops?; forget it. What does the average person on the street think or imagine usually drives honest public servants into dishonest service in the first place?
