I like to hold up the Motor Vehicle Registration department as a prime example of a bureaucracy for its own sake.



We have to register our cars annually. Why? To fund the Motor Registration Department.



What's that Department do? It registers your cars.



Why? TO FUND THE MOTOR REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT. AREN'T YOU LISTENING???



There is no valid reason to register a car every year...only when it changes owners.

In every province in Canada you have to buy an annual sticker for your license plate ie, register your car.

Its another government scam. An entirely unnecessary impost on what governments see as wallets on wheels.

Same with yearly fishing licenses and boating licenses. Money, money, money.

Its outright theft to support utterly unnecessary jobs for unnecessary purposes. They claim its for our own good, but all it means is that governments can employ people who could not get a job anywhere else, to make their numbers look good at election time.

And it's not like the private sector where employment can be scaled back when sales are down. The way it works now, once someone is on the public teat they are there no matter how redundant they are. And when they retire they get a generous defined pension benefit pension that future generations cannot afford.

Bricktop

Exactly.



Their tenure for life was initially to compensate them for the fact that public sector wages were below private sector wages.



Now, they are 20% higher in Australia...yet tenure remains.

My ex worked in complex care, the EXACT type of facility that would generally house the elderly with more serious issues...



They work as hard as they can, but too many old people entering the system, with too little budget, creates a problem.



Canada taxes the shit out of people, so the money should be there...  And it IS there.  Where does it go?  One BILLION per year to the CBC, the make-work program for otherwise unemployable Liberal Arts Grads.



And ANOTHER BILLION to the fucking Indians, that create nothing, nor contribute to anything.



TWO FUCKING BILLION right there, in wasted dollars, for "feel good" and "make work" type projects...

And check out how much is flushed through the S Bend on junk degrees in universities.

This is a big problem. There is no way there should be any subsidy at all on liberal arts education. You want a hobby degree, pay the full cost urself.

Bricktop

Yes.



The FULL cost to include the salaries of the marxist "professors" who teach that crap, floor space occupied by said courses, and admin fees.

One big fucking make work project, is all that is.

We will pay for our children's education, but it has to be in a profession.

You'd better make sure that profession needs more staff...new jobs in ANY profession will be at a premium...especially for males.

The people that are working full time in the future will enjoy better pay and perks than their peers today.
