Yeah that's my criteria, private employers are pretty much out, that's for sure... Call me french but I work to live, not the other way around. If people choose to live in a country where their employers expect them to pack up and ship out every 7 years, move x-country like it's moving down the street, screaming kids in tow, reset their professional seniority at every hiccup of the economy, get "globalized" at work-year-29 and expected to "re-train" at the age of 52 to become the neo-nurse of the 22nd century, all the while taking a paycut to fund their own retirement, and call it NORMAL, that's on them. I don't want to get rich, but when I'm out of a job I want the rest of my street to be out of one too. I'm not falling on my own sword so that the non-productive sector of society can get a quarter of a point raise in their shares.

I proclaim the aforementioned in 1950 and it was par for the course, but because I'm under 35 I voice that and it's blasphemy all of a sudden?!? Forget that, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. The race to the bottom has to stop somewhere.
