I didn't realize that a baggage handler was a gov't employee.
Are you saying that everyone who works at an airport is a gov't employee?

There are gov't employees at lots of airports, but not everyone.

Well, I'm sure it isn't hard with your Easy Bake oven and all. And obviously you've never had an upside down cake come out right side up and blow up half your kitchen.

Who keeps them in business? If the U.S. government funds your business, guess who you work for.

interesting

I do. The only reason they're still operating is because of tax payer money. It seems like they get a new bailout, or try for a new one, every other year.

You might want to research this statement.

Why would he do that? Much easier to blab incoherently

So you're saying that anyone who works for GM or Chrysler is a gov't employee?

My bad. Carry on.

Even more directly than airline employees, assuming the government still owns a share in the company.

When you get a pay raise, who approves it? School Sup't or the Gov. of TN?

I guess you work for the gov't then. How's that teat now?

See post above...I hate to break it to you but yiu should be unemployed right now.

I didn't realize that a baggage handler got the same health/retirement benefits as me.

You're saying even if I'm retired militarily, I can still add to my retirement thru Southwest or any other airline?

I'm ok with being on the Government teet

You respond to a statement about GM by talking about retirement?

Deflect much?

But to answer your question: janitors and teachers don't have the same retirement benefits either, but both work for the government.

yada yada yada, I know about bailouts and their purpose.
You're basically saying anyone who accepts a bailout from the gov't, is working for the gov't. If that's the case, where are the health benefits and retirement plans?
Do they all have gov't ID's, Thrift savings, Tricare?
