I live here so it hurts to know how recklessly they squander our tax dollars. Public has no idea how much is being wasted... paying tech CEO salaries for every nurse manager etc...
Highest state income tax, highest gas, highest rent prices, PG&E prices higher than anywhere else in the country...
Great weather tho ☀️

The job market in the United States is quite dynamic and competitive, but I had no idea that the government was one of the largest employers, both in terms of number of employees and overall expenditure. Do you know of any websites where I can see how the number of government workers has changed over time?
