DBD 1.08.10 Live In The Moment, Not For The Moment

For the second time this college football season, I had a moment where I realised, once again, that college football is a game played by human beings (and kids at that) and that we tend to forget this a lot. The first I had this moment was Jahvid Best's injury at the Oregon State game, where many of us thought that something worse than a serious injury had just occured on the field.
The second time was last night. Like most of you, I detest Mack Brown and Texas football, but as a general college football fan, I've been watching the big games and been following Texas football (even if it was only to root against them). I saw the emergence of this kid, Colt McCoy, as a redshirt freshman. As a freshman, his team lost three games the entire season, one of which was to the number one team in the nation, the other two occured while he was injured. He regressed a little his sophomore year, but managed to increase his mobility and became a dangerous runner. His junior year, he had a sensational season and really carried Texas through the season. Somehow, he lost to Heisman to his buddy Sam Bradford (still unsure why this was) and lost a chance to play for a national championship due to some bizarre tiebreakers.
This season was finally his chance. With three bowl wins and three bowl MVP awards under his belt, this was his season to win the Heisman and the national title. This could be that storybook season, that storybook moment. Texas ran through their schedule, McCoy had the Heisman all locked up after their annual date with Texas A&M. Then, after getting harassed all night by one of college football's best defensive linemen of the past several years who was playing the game of his career, the Heisman slipped away from him. The story became even better. McCoy could draw inspiration from his mentor, the junior quarterback when he was a redshirt freshman, Vince Young, who won the BCS National Championship after losing a lopsided Heisman vote. As he stepped onto the field, full of confidence, ready to strike, he started driving his team to the end zone.
Then, BOOM!
And it was all over for McCoy.
Like the kid or not, it's difficult not to feel really bad for him. This was supposed to be his dream, his moment, his chance to shine. What he had tasted and what he had been fighting for since his freshman year, what he's always been denied the opportunity to even achieve, he almost got... and that moment was just snatched away with him with one untimely (and clean) hit.
I don't know if there's a lesson to be taken out of this. The title of the DBD is the best I could think of. Obviously, it's crucial we have goals in life and strive for something. But part of me knows that we should appreciate the journey to get there just as much, because, like for McCoy, that moment may get snatched away without any notice.
Sorry for the semi-serious nature of this DBD, but I felt it was timely and just something I felt like talking about.
Umm.... HONK!

Lesson to all future coaches: Don't abuse your players
South Florida has fired the only coach it has ever had.
Bulls officials have told Jim Leavitt that he is out after 13 seasons. Leavitt has been under investigation for allegations that he grabbed and slapped walk-on Joel Miller at halftime of the Louisville game earlier this year.
That makes three of them this year. Interestingly enough, all three were the most successful (and, in South Florida’s case, only) coaches in their school’s history. All three teams were in position to get to the national championship game at some point (Kansas in 2007 in the last week of the regular season, Texas Tech last year before they lost to Oklahoma, South Florida in 2007, when they were ranked #2 prior to playing Rutgers).

Womens BBall takes on UCLA:
The California Golden Bears (6-6, 0-1 Pac-10) head back to Southern California this weekend to take on the UCLA Bruins (9-4, 2-0 Pac-10) and the USC Trojans (8-5, 2-0 Pac-10). Cal opens the trip on Friday, Jan. 8 taking on the Bruins in Westwood. They conclude on Sunday, Jan. 10 with a 3 p.m. afternoon game in downtown LA against the Trojans.
This is the third roadtrip to Southern California for the Bears in the last month. Cal played in Long Beach on Dec. 21 and in San Diego Dec. 28 and 30. The Bears are 2-1 this season in games played down south.
Cal is looking for their first Pac-10 win of the season after dropping the opener at Stanford. Cal has only twice suffered back-to-back losses in Pac-10 games since Boyle began coaching the team in 2005-06 (last season’s losses at UCLA and home against Arizona State and in 2005-06 losses at UCLA and home against Oregon State). Boyle’s Bear teams have twice before lost their Pac-10 openers but rebounded in the second conference game of the season.
First up on this road trip will be the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins are coming into the series after sweeping the Arizona schools on the road last weekend. Cal has battled at Pauley Pavilion in the past few years with three of the last four games at UCLA being decided in overtime. The Bruins hold a 40-14 lead in the all-time series. Cal has won 4 of the last 5 games against the Bruins, but fell 71-56 at UCLA on the last regular season road trip of the year in 2009.
On Sunday, Cal will take on the USC Trojans, looking to avenge last season’s stunning 69-67 upset in the Pac-10 Tournament. Cal had won eight straight meetings between the two teams before the Pac-10 tournament loss last year. At the Galen Center, Cal holds an overall mark of 6-1, including owning a pair of NCAA Tournament victories on the court. This will be Cal’s first game back at the Galen Center since they defeated Virginia, 99-73, on the court to advance to the 2009 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
Cal, whose last home game was Dec. 9, will return to Haas Pavilion next week, hosting Washington on Thursday, Jan. 14 and Washington State on Saturday, Jan. 16.

Former Women’s Water Polo Coach receives honor:
BERKELEY, CALIF. – Maureen O’Toole-Purcell, Cal’s first women’s water polo coach when the Golden Bears’ program became a varsity sport in 1996 and one of the sports legendary players, will be honored by the NCAA as one of their Silver Anniversary Honorees. O’Toole-Purcell will be acknowledged along with some of the biggest names in sports – Doug Flutie, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Deb Richard and Jack Del Rio – January 15, 2010 during the NCAA Convention in Atlanta.
Considered by many to be the greatest women’s water polo player of all time, O’Toole-Purcell was a 15-time U.S. MVP, a six-time World MVP and a four-time national Sportswoman of the Year as named by the U.S. Olympic Committee. After coaching Cal from ‘96-’98, she rejoined the USA national team where she became the oldest and only water polo over the age of 30 at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, helping the United States to a silver medal in the first Olympic competition for women’s water polo.
As the head coach of the Bears, O’Toole-Purcell’s squads finished as national runners-up all three years, combining for an 83-18 overall record and an .822 winning percentage. She was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Northern Division Coach of the Year twice (1996, 1997) and helped produce some of the nation’s top players, including league and NCAA Tournament MVPs, MPSF Goalie of the Year, 14 All-Americans and 16 All-MPSF selections as well as two Olympic teammates, Courtney Johnson and Heather Petri.

Gymnastics extravaganza this Sun:
BERKELEY -
The California Golden Bear men’s and women’s gymnastics teams will be hosting a Co-ed Gymnastics Extravaganza this Sunday, Jan. 10 at 2 p.m. in Haas Pavilion. This fun, interactive event will give fans a chance to see (and judge) the athletes in their final tune-up before their season openers.
The Co-Ed Gymnastics Extravaganza is a new event this season that will give fans a chance to interact with Cal gymnasts and allow the athletes a fun forum for a final tune-up before the season officially gets underway next weekend.
Unlike a normal gymnastics meet, the crowd will be the judges (similar to reality shows- this is all about the crowd getting to know the athletes and be able to be a part of the event.) There will be mixed pairing competition where three sets of coed teams on each event will be competing on four events and the crowd will get to pick which pairing they liked – Blue Team/ White Team/ Gold Team.

Chat with former Cal softball player:
BERKELEY – Four-year letterwinner with the Cal softball team and Olympian Michele Granger is set for an exclusive live interview on MakeItPro TV on Thursday, Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. PST. The live interactive webcast, which is free to all, can be seen at http://www.makeitpro.com/tv.
Fans can also Granger questions on her profile page, which can be found by clicking here.
Granger helped the U.S. national team to a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
One of the top pitchers in the history of NCAA softball, Granger was a four-time All-American at California between 1990-93, completing her career with a 119-52 mark and a 0.46 ERA. She owns 20 school records and five NCAA marks and holds the distinction of being a four-time All-Pacific Region selection, a four-time All-Pac 10 choice and a four-time Honda Sports Award finalist. She established what was then an NCAA record with 1,640 strikeouts during her career and had 25 no-hitters and five perfect games as a Golden Bear.

He is also Extremely Fortunate
I understand your point, that this was the moment he was supposed to shine, the ultimate dream fulfilled for every kid growing up in Texas, and his injury prevented him from fulfilling that dream is unfortunate. But he is also extremely fortunate to experience all that lead up to his moment of disppointment. Imagine the number of kids that would have killed to be the starting quarterback for a Div-1 school. Particularly if that school is a traditional powerhouse, more particularly all those kids living in Texas, living football, playing for their home team. Being able to play qb for Texas for four years definitely outweighs the unfortunate experience of getting injured. I realize you aren’t belittling his time up until the injury, but he is still far more fortunate and genetically blessed than 99% of the kids in Texas. Understanding him in this context limits the extent of my Colt McCoy sad face.

I 100% agree with you; that’s what the point after the jump is about and, really, what the title of this DBD is about.
But that moment at the end of the game, when the reporters interviewed him (ps, why would you not interview the guy who played?!), you could see it all on his face. You could tell that he had lived for that opportunity that had evaded him so many times and when he finally got it, it was gone… His interview actually made me sadder than if he had cried. He somehow didn’t cry on tv and managed to praise Alabama, which makes me respect him that much more.
I feel that, on some level, we all know that feeling — the anticipation and work building up to one moment, only to have that moment taken away from us, for some reason or another. And it’s one of those feelings you live with your entire life.

why would you not interview the guy who played?!
Because he was about to dissolve, emotionally. It would have been cruel, but then so was talking to McCoy I suppose.
I thought the McCoy interview was pretty cruel: “So how did it feel to be standing on the sideline, unable to play in your last college football game ever, while you team lost?”

I did feel sorry for McCoy in the end last night
His speech at the end was worse than it would’ve been had he actually cried.
And the part about his arm being dead? Yea better get that fixed soon dude

did you read wetzels article?
Definatly a good article on the entire situation, and even though i hate Mack Brown with the fire of a thousand suns, i feel terrible for the Texas QB’s.

To be fair, Tebow wasn’t injured. He just lost a game, which happens to half of the teams in America every week.

I seriously think there’s something more powerful about McCoy NOT crying in that situation, when most men (myself included) probably would.

Joe McKnight is Declaring
USC junior running back Joe McKnight said Friday that he will enter the upcoming NFL draft.
“The time is right,” McKnight said. “This was my first healthy season and I really don’t want to come back and risk injury.”

He is also still being investigated.

Ted Miller is using Cal's Season as a Pre-cautionary Tale for Oregon
Because national championship is what the Ducks are thinking, right?
If you look up and down that depth chart — not just the starters, the entire two-deep — and you see a lot of promise.
But promise never won a game. Recall, we saw a lot of promise with Cal’s depth chart heading into the 2009 season.
How’d that turn out?
Meh
Kinda sucks how it played out, but McCoy had a great career, he doesn’t really have a lot to complain about. Also not sure what the distinction between “in the moment” and “for the moment” is supposed to be…
Really? If you’ve been fighting for an opportunity your whole college career (and, hell, be honest — his entire life basically), and when the opportunity finally came up, not only did you not succeed, but that opportunity was snatched away from you right at the beginning, you wouldn’t “complain”?
To be fair, McCoy doesn’t (publicly) feel sorry for himself, but it’s hard not to sympathize for him.
And the distinction between the two concepts is pretty self-explanatory — enjoy the ride, etc.
7
Yeah, it sucks for him that he got injured and couldn’t play in the national championship game. I don’t think anyone would dispute that, but I’m not sure what your point is beyond that.
I can understand that you can’t sympathize with him, etc.; but do you honestly not understand what I’m saying, or are you just being difficult, as usual?
7
Yes Rishi, anyone who dares to disagree with you is just being “difficult”. How dare anyone offer a different opinion than your own?
I honestly don’t understand what you’re saying other than “I feel bad for Colt McCoy”.
I’ve never particularly cared for the guy, being from Texas and all, but I’ve followed him from a freshman. I guess more than feeling bad, I actually empathize with him… it’s something more than just “he didn’t win a championship”, to me at least.
And it’s not that you’re disagreeing, it’s that you can’t actually understand that point of view. I guess not all of us can be immune from failure like you.
7
I just think it’s funny that you constantly mock other people for things they feel strongly about, but on the rare occasions you post something serious you get all pissy if people don’t treat it like some kind of profound observation.
This
I’m not sure what your point is beyond that.
I honestly don’t understand what you’re saying other than "I feel bad for Colt McCoy".
Also not sure what the distinction between "in the moment" and "for the moment" is supposed to be…

Did you ever think that maybe I’m just growing up, RIGHT NOW IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES?!
And now you’re stunting my growth.
Why?

Look at what happened to Barkely and whatever-the-Texas-QB’s-name-is about the danger of growing up in front of people’s eyes.
Or, one swallow doesn’t make a summer.
"/>
I can see how he would be devastated, and it’s certainly a very shitty ending to everything he’s worked for in college, but I don’t too feel badly for him, and I certainly don’t empathize. It sucks for him that it worked out this way, but I’m sure he’ll heal up, go onto the NFL draft, and make a good amount of money, same as before, only without a BCS championship or a Heisman.

and actually
That’s pretty much like most talented college football players. Just because he went to Texas and had a shot at the NC game, so his expectations were higher, doesn’t make his lost opportunity more important than anyone else’s. More dramatic, maybe. But so what.

Living “in the moment,” at least according to followers of Zen Buddhism, is mindfulness of daily experiences which, along with meditation, will provide new perspectives and insights on existence and, possibly, ultimately lead to enlightenment. As I understand it, living “in the moment” means to focus on what you are doing now, and to get everything out of it that can be gotten, instead of doing what most of us do: being distracted by raking over what happened in the past, worrying about or hoping for what will happen in the future, thinking about what we could be doing instead, etc.
Living “for the moment,” I’m not exactly sure about. But it sounds like it could mean living your life in anticipation of some great experience to come — exactly the opposite of living “in the moment.”

My knowledge of Hindu theology is weak, but I’m pretty sure that reincarnation therein is based on your karma for each given lifetime. So the suffering you’ve endorsed as a Cal fan will probably result in you being reborn as a fan of a more successful program, which which somewhat ironically probably lead to negative karma since most of those programs’ fans are kinda douchey.

Yes, I understand what the words literally mean. But the distinction between living in the moment – which implies that the experience itself is an end – and for the moment – which also implies that the experience itself is the end, rather than a means to some other end – seems semantic at best. Unless you’re saying that the moment itself can be attained in some way other than as an experience.

Any thoughts everybody? Did Boise get screwed, or is 4th where they belong?
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
It’s hard to objectively rank Boise State and TCU vs. the SEC/Big 12/Big 10 teams due to the lack of common opponents.
And really, you can make arguments either way: SEC people will say that a low-scoring SEC game is due to good defenses but a low-scoring WAC game is due to bad offenses…and vice-versa. Go figure.

In other words, Go Bears!
[Comment From GoldenBV: ]
How has Coach DeCuire helped you with your development as a point guard? Do you think he’ll be a head coach someday?
Jerome Randle:
I think he definitely could be a head coach. One thing I like about him is he was a point guard in his college games and he knows the game. He teaches me a lot in practice and if I go the wrong direction on a play, he’ll show me a better way to go to get a shot or an assist. It helps that he’s a funny guy, too. We joke around a lot. But when get gets serious, you know.

Do you follow the Cal football team? Care to give us some of your thoughts and feelings from the last season and about the next?
Jerome Randle:
From my perspective, I think they kind of lost their fire after Jahvid went down. Football season is different from basketball season. One loss can kind of ruin your whole season. Once you feel like you can’t compete for the title, it’s almost like it’s pointless. It didn’t help that their starting running back was injured.

Any up and coming young players on the team that you think will be national names when you’re off doing your thing in the L?

D.J. Seeley is definitely a sleeper. He just has to understand as a freshman and sophomore you have to wait your turn. I think he’s kind of figuring that out right now. Once Patrick is gone, he will pick up the slack, You can mark my words, he will definitely be a star.

Jerome Randle:
I don’t like the fact that Haas don’t boo the other team. When we go on the road, they literally harass us. Haas kind of makes it easy for the opponents who come into the building. The last game, they were actually cheering. I heard a lot of cheering, rather than booing.

It’s hard to think of Bear’s basketball without you leading the offense next year, and now there is a Brandon Smith who has flashes of a young, well you. I think it is great that he can learn from you. Do you think he will be able to run the offense someday?
Jerome Randle:
Definitely. I think he can run the offense now. He’s a really smart point guard and he came from a great high school. I watched them play and their coach really, really knows what he’s talking about. The way he practices makes me believe he can come in the game and pick up the slack. One thing about Brandon is he can’t be scared to shoot the ball. A lot of times he hesitates to take his shots. I tell him if you’ve got a wide-open shot or ever feel like you’ve got a shot, take it.
In other words, Go Bears!
[Comment From Yahtzee!: ]
What’s on your list of things to do before you leave Cal?
Jerome Randle:
I want to be the all-time leading assist and the all-time leading scorer. I want to win a Pac-10 title, win the league tournament amd I want to make it to the Elite 8. And win Pac-10 player of the year.

Jorge MIGHT be out for a couple more weeks?

lulz at the shots at zone d and UW.
Jerome Randle:
I hate playing zone teams. Oregon State has a tough zone. I always thought that teams that play zone are really scared to play defense. They shoukld just man up and take their chances, but it’s not like that, I love playing Washington. They just think they’re unstoppable.

Random question about the UT game:
Chiles (UT receiver) was their backup QB last year. I wonder why, when it looked bleak for Gilbert, they at least didn’t put Chiles in the game. He’s a great runner.
Because: a) he can’t pass for shit b) he hasn’t taken any QB reps since the Spring ( I believe)
The next QB was Sherrod Harris who is a stiff also. Texas has had Snead and Kinne transfer in the past couple of years as well…thus true Frosh Gilbert as the backup.

Every year I get my hopes up over these rumors. It would be nice if Carroll left, but I’m not believing it until he’s saying goodbye at a press conference.
Random conspiracy theory: Pete knows sanctions are coming down soon. Time to get out before the worst hits.

But don’t you think USC could replace him with another big-time coach? Think they could pry, I dunno, someone like a Saban or Meyer away? Or would they grab another hotshot up-and-comer instead?

I don’t know. If you believe the rumors, there was a bust-up over Joe McKnight not being made eligible for the Nut Bowl. Add in the prospect of voluntary sanctions for football to match the ones for basketball, and the fact that Garrett apparently gave the football team a piece of his mind more than once, and you can see a clash of the Titanic egos.
Add in one desperate NFL franchise, and away we go!
Harbaugh would do it, but only if he gets a whirlpool spa, platinum chamber pot and solid diamond TP-roll-holder.

No, if the co-eds got the cars, then Leinart’s baby-momma wouldn’t have had to get a car included in the palimony settlement.
Shameful how sloppily a professional enterprise like USC football manages its payroll.

Saban just won a NC at Bama. They’re not letting him go anywhere even if he wanted to.
Meyer with his health and “dedication” to the Gators also would have one believe that he’s staying there as well.
Outside of those two, I can’t imagine who of their caliber would get up out of their cozy nest and leave.

Winning the NC didn’t stop Saban from jumping ship at LSU… I think he’ll follow the $$. Meyer I’m less sure about. I feel like coaching at USC would be less stressful than at Florida, but who knows.

Arnold announces proposed budget with cuts to fix the deficit
More large cuts to prisons, welfare, and public employees (5% pay cut with no compensation, increased retirement/healthcare contributions from employees, plus 5% cuts for each department, which will probably mean layoffs.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
I like how Arnold was all like “gee, we shouldn’t be spending more money on prisons than schools”. Funny how it took him 6 years to figure that one out.
I can’t begin to guess how he’s going to cut prison spending more. I doubt he’s going to propose any meaningful changes to sentencing laws, and I don’t think he’s going to be releasing every non-violent offender. Apparently ‘privatization’ will somehow save us millions of dollars, which makes no sense to me because we were already not spending enough on our prisons to meet federal standards – hence the lawsuits that CA keeps losing.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
As someone who makes his living off federal contract work, I can assure you that the only advantages you get from “privatizing” are making it look like you’re reducing the number of government workers, and reducing future liabilities by eliminating pensions – and possibly not adding capital investment costs to the books for new prisons. It might be a different color of budgetary money, but it sure as shit won’t be cheaper.
reducing future liabilities by eliminating pensions
And if Arnold gets his way on pension reform that won’t even be a big cost saver either.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Yikes. I know it’s the general trend but decent pensions are one of the offsets for lower public sector salaries… how much longer do they think they can make it disadvantageous to work for the government before people just give up?
I’m not sure what kind of pension reform he wants. If he’s talking about capping maximum benefits to prevent some of the more extreme situations you can get from police and firefighter pensions, I probably wouldn’t be opposed. Anything that would keep the stories of unpopular police chiefs retiring with $300,000 /year + health benefits just serves to paint all public employees in a negative light. But if we’re talking about cutting pensions for your typical public employee, then yeah, things could get ugly.

To say nothing of the constant demonization of public employees by conservatives/the electorate in general.
I’m always puzzled by serious right-wingers who do work for the government. I spend a chunk of my time at a USDA office in MD, and the guy one cubicle over winds down on Fridays listening to Hannity et al. If that’s what he thinks, why is he working for a non-conservative-interest agency (e.g., Department of Defense).

by atomsareenough on Jan 8, 2010 2:29 PM PST up reply actions
Wait, you’re telling me that privatizing everything DOESN’T save money/reduce corruption/improve efficiency/lower taxes/help old ladies cross the street? Shocking.
There are some instances when it might be appropriate for other reasons. For instance, my customers would have a hell of a time trying to fit the cost of developers into the GS schedule. The basis for going outside the government isn’t cost, it’s having the work done versus not having the work done.
California’s prison union is one of the most powerful in the nation. I guarantee privatizing and not having to deal with union slime would save money.
So what can you say?
The prison system’s problems are much more fundamental that union issues. We’re reaping the ‘benefits’ of an absurd incarceration rate that locks up waaaaay more people than the state can possibly afford. We can’t even afford basic healthcare for inmates and the feds aren’t going to let California get away with it.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
It’s much easier to scream “UNIONS SUCK! MY TAXES ARE TOO HIGH! OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST!” than to actually look at structural problems.
As someone who works among union employees, and as a former member, I can tell you that having unions representing educated office workers (government employees) makes more a very inefficient, lazy workforce. On the other hand, corrections is a tough field and very dangerous. I totally understand having unon organization just like plumbers or some other other labor job. It’s crappy work that not just anyone will do, and without it, they would not be paid well. Not just anybody shows up for work with the chance of dying in a riot. The prison system suffers from many ills. One of the biggest ones in my eyes was criminalizing drug addiction. Rather than trying to effectively treat people, politicians like to pacify their constiuents and hide the problem by putting drug addicts in jail and thumping their chests saying, “Look what I did.”
Just curious, was there a reason you are no longer in the union? Or just left a union job.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
I pay a service fee, which is the smallest amount I can pay under law. Since the whole county is in a collective bargaining agreement, I’m still represented, but I am no longer active. I saw no purpose in participating after observing their activities over the first few months. I find SEIU to be particularly nasty as far as unions over-exerting themselves go . We used to have a smaller, localized union which didn’t get involved in big picture politics so much, which seems to be the way it should be. But that was way before my time.
My uncle had a stroke a couple years back, and was in a really upscale recovery facility in Ross, CA. I went to visit him a few times. About 5-6 guys from San Quentin who had similar problems were housed there, too. They all had two guards, and a couple had three guards each, 24/7. You could hear their ankle-cuff chains jangling against the bedframe when they moved their feet; it was hella freaky.
100% health coverage at nice facility in Marin, per prisoner per year: 100k/year, minimum?
Guards’ pay, per year, per prisoner?: 60k/year plus benefits, so more like 80k/year?
So there’s ~1.5 million. For one prison, for one year, for six prisoners with health problems. I think the problems with healthcare for prisoners is way, way, way overblown.
So what can you say?
Btw Holmoephobe I can give you the address so you can go volunteer your time to wipe their noses with scented tissues…

The panel, which is composed of a federal appeals judge for the Ninth Circuit and two federal district judges, estimated the state could save $803 million to $906 million annually if it were to reduce its prison population. It also said it could use that money to shore up local agencies that would serve parolees or probationers diverted from prison.
Is the prison guard union a part of the problem? Sure. But it’s not the only problem and it’s not the biggest problem.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
But the prison guards union has donated tons of money (and strong-armed democratic legislators) to support legislation and ballot initiatives imposing more and longer prison sentences — so that more prison guards will be needed and they, in turn, will pay more money in dues to the union, which can then afford to lobby for more and longer prison sentences, etc.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
Fair point
I’m hoping that with the current budget black hole, the tide has turned against the entire prison ‘industry,’ guard union and all.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Those slimy union members! We should make unions illegal. Fuck it, let’s just go back to indentured servitude.
Public employee unions are problematic, because unlike private-sector unions, they contribute substantial amounts of money to elect the public officials who will be sitting on the other side of the bargaining table from them. It’s a huge conflict of interest that would be illegal in the private sector.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
Plus, in addition to their rights under union contracts, public employees also have civil service protections that make it almost impossible to fire them.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
In addition, the entities they draw their funds from -the government- are “too big to fail.” There will never not be a state of California to go out of business barring total catastrophe. A company can go out of business and run out of slices of pie to dole out. The government merely makes the pie bigger by charging taxpayers. The unions simply fight over the pie.
So what can you say?
I would argue that the current situation illustrates that it’s not an endless pie for state workers.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Nick, you’ve been a public employee for a few years right? So I guess you draw a huge paycheck to just sit around all day and do nothing (while simultaneously being corrupt as hell and influencing state legislators)?
It’s actually surprising how little I hear from the union. Considering the huge controversies lately, there’s very little communication. Of course, I make no effort to get involved, but still.
BTW, I’m going to laugh so hard if Arnold’s appeal fails and he has to give us back pay for all the days we couldn’t work, considering he negotiated a deal that included major union concessions and then Republicans killed it.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
I’ve got no issue with public employees. I live in Sacramento, so half the people I know are government workers, including my brother and sister-n-law. I just think that the way the public employee union / government agency relationship has developed in California is detrimental to the long-term well-being of the state and local governments and, by extension, to all ordinary Californians, including public employees.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
I’ve wanted to boot unions from work as long as I’ve been a social worker for my county agency. Civil service protections are fine and good and should be there. It’s a perk for making less than one would in the private sector. Unions are completely unnecessary. I’ve observed a fairly consistent correlational relationship, and if I had any skills with Paint or Photoshop, I would illustrate it. As ones’s passion and dedication to SEIU increases, so does one’s incompetence at performing their job duties. The union really only helps people that should have been fired years ago.
Um…corporations and their employees donate money to public officials who award contracts to them. It’s exactly the same thing.
Corporations can go out of business. Governments can’t. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
So what can you say?
I’ve represented public entities in labor negotiations and contract disputes with their unions. However corrupt the public contracting system may be, it can’t possibly be as corrupt as the public employee union / government agency relationship.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
I don’t know as much about the details of labor negotiations as you do, but at a systemic level, there’s no way that labor has more influence than big business. Not even close. Maybe in California it’s close. Nationwide, definitely not close.
He’s going to cut prison spending by reducing the amount spent on prisoners’ medical care – which is blatantly illegal. There’s a reason a federal court placed the system in a receivership.
