Hot air means that you and the new administration are bloviating, trying to paint pretty pictures and write your own history. I will wait to see what happens.
Before the Department of Homeland Security was created, there was no homeland security? All we know now is that Trump is growing the government. Isn't that a pet peeve of Trump and his loyal followers?
He just created a new government office/agency, that's called growing the government. Apparently my point just flew over your head but that's no surprise. Yep the U.S. government had no cyber security until the former mayor came along, that's it. They should have just given him some space within HSA.
Except if it's Russia, then Trump will tweet about how smart the Ruskies are and that it could have been some 400 pounder in his bedroom.
Or window dressing, or growing the government, whatever. When does Rudy go to cyber training school?
Segments of the government have been focusing on cyber security for a while. Cyber security has a lot of pieces to it also. Some of the vulnerabilities you learn bout after being hacked. Another sticking point is the government purchasing rules. By the time you can purchase the latest and greatest stuff, it's old news. I'm fine with putting focus on the problem. I'm other sure that Rudy brings any expertise with him that helps.
Your last paragraph....I honestly don't understand someone with any amount of talent working on the Gov't side vs Private Sector. It makes zero sense to me.
You need an apples to apples comparison. You have a lot of government employees in technical and scientific areas. How does the comparison hold up when you look at pay in each field? I suspect you'll find that office workers in the government fare better than in the private sector. I also think that you'll find that anyone with technical expertise fares much worse.
I'm less familiar with the stats at the state and local levels. I'm more familiar with the federal level stuff. I will note that some grand assumptions were made in the linked analysis. Those include that private sector workers are necessarily more productive than public sector. That's a baseless assumption. I've worked on both sides of that fence, and I've seen plenty of very productive people and plenty of unproductive people on both sides.
This link is from an analysis in 2010, and they cite most of their statistics from 2008. In 2008 over 44% of federal employees had at least a bachelor degree. The same measure in the public sector was just shy of 19%. The average age of the employee was also 5 years higher at the federal level.
Not much to argue with here. The only thing I see being measurably better is the ability to shitcan under performers in the private sector much easier.
You are absolutely correct about the statistics applied to male vs female wages. I'm not saying everything is even across the board when you compare experience and education levels across gender pay as well. I honestly don't know. I don't think that was done when they calculated the $0.77 to a $1.00 though.
