No tax on overtime

[Pullman Brown]

A Scottish Historian named Alex Fraser Tyler wrote this was back in 1790:

~A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.~

Looks about right, eh?

He didn’t write that. Tytler was skeptical of pure democracy. In Universal History, he wrote:

“It is a matter of regret that the history of mankind does not exhibit one example of a government established upon democratic principles, and bearing the marks of long duration, and internal security.”

So while Tytler was critical of democracy, especially ancient Athens, he did not predict a doom cycle based on voters plundering the treasury. He was far more nuanced and historical in his analysis.

Thx. $9500 OT for me roughly

I was a little over 25k
Nice one payday but a few more hours than I cared to work

29k in overtime last year for me and I’m ahead of last year this year.

Working 60 every single week would probably put you around 150Ish. No thanks.

The exact reason I left the day after I turned 55. After having 7 surgeries over the years it was time

Holy cow! Seven surgeries? I’m blessed I’ve never had one injury. But I’m still not sure I could go another 10 years to 62. Five years to 57 sounds more reasonable.

Yep lol. And all of them after I was 30. Knee, shoulder, two thumb surgeries, and 3 neck surgeries (4 of my neck vertebra fused). Plus a compression fracture in my back from Army days. Also for good measure; a broken wrist

We had two super old and super fat dudes fall over and hurt themselves in the building in the past 6 months. Both of them plan on coming back. Gotta see what's in the next contract.
