There isn't enough money to have many more chiefs. The existing ones have almost all of it.

Possibly to explain the likelihood of a negative hostile response from Brown.

I'm politically unaligned, although the local bagger hound might disagree.

I agree all humans have inalienable rights. I think the rule of law is the way to those rights. We are in the removing the law's cultural bias phase.

Where I work there seems to be lots of money for more chiefs and other lazy cubicle dwellers and not much else. Problem is, the revenue is generated on the factory floor by sweaty people running machines. Not by the pretty people, reposing comfortably on cushy chairs in the A/C.

I keep hoping the rest of the country figures this out before it's too late. So far, it doesn't look so good.

Race in politics is a diversion. So is left/right.

It's a myth. There are no government workers, just bureaucrats and paper pushers. Need something done? Sub it out. That's the American way.
