want to get paid for doing nothing?

Well, that is pretty much the goal of anyone who starts a blog, right?

But no, I've found an even easier way to get paid for doing nothing.

Ready? Here's what you do.

1. Become a public school teacher in New York (the greatest city in the world) City

2. Become a part of the teacher's union

3. Get charged with (your choice!) either sexual misconduct, insubordination, or probably a handful of other potential offenses.

At that point, CONGRATULATIONS, you get to do nothing and still receive your full paycheck, just like over 700 teachers in the NYC school system!!!!

You'll be placed in a "rubber room" and allowed to do just about anything you want with your day, and since they cant fire you because the union is too powerful, you still get paid.

The Department of Education says that this practice costs taxpayers $65 million a year. The really funny thing the irony of the Department of Education complaining about anything else wasting taxpayer money and failing to successfully education children. I guess they finally found something more useless than themselves.

But getting back to the immediate point, I'm going to file this away as evidence of two arguments that I strongly support.

1. Why unions that are too powerful actually become entirely counter-productive to their own goals.

2. Why New York City is absolutely NOT the best place in the world, no matter what 80% of the people who live there (and 95% of the people who dont), want you to think.
