No but that wasn’t the argument. You are shifting the goalposts, because I was responding to the argument that these poor lowly civil servants take less pay, when in actuality they take far more compensation and have far greater job security, so if you look stupidly at just wages, you ignore the fact that the buying power of those smaller wages can be much better if you don’t have to pay a damn thing for healthcare, and get basically free retirement without paying much of anything, whereas the rest may get matching or 50% matching to what we put in.
