It riles me up that we put up with the system we've created. I don't have the means to pull the ripcord, but I'm determined to isolate myself from it as much as I can. For me, the desire to work for the government is a silent form of protest against the system in more ways than one. I simply do not care, have never cared about any bosses bottom line, so I'm looking forward to never having to deal with revenue targets ever again. Serving the public explicitly aligns much better with my values. I feel like the only way out of this mess is with a locked-down, ham-strung form of capitalism that is under tight control by strong and capable governments. (Someone needs to prevent the babies from dying, and it's not gonna be the hustlers.) And while it's surely naive of me to say this, I hope to be a small part of that solution.
