“residents here in Ridgewood know more about what happens than the eggheads at the BOE & REA who theorize on how to control thoughts as they trade bon mots at their cocktail parties. Should corona last for the long run, the intelligentsia and NJEA unions will be toast as they cling to their days gone by like the Luddites they are. I pity the truly great teachers in the district who have been lumped into the mix with the Marxists.”
Public unions gotta go. Unionizing against the public is a travesty. Ppl turned a blind eye while good times rolled, but we’re in a right spot now. And the decade of transformation has just started!
Expect fewer white collar jobs, normalization if demand for IT specialists and entertainers, high inflation and much higher taxes on top earners as well as property owners.
Covid merely accelerated the existing trend. With these issues, last thing taxpayers can afford is subsidize 20th century style “public servants.” Especially those who teach their children how to hate their own family and nation.
Amen…
Do you think that defunding the police depts and dismantling police unions can really happen? Or were you talking about the fire department union?
I think our uniformed services need some streamlining. The work rules make it too easy to get to the top of the scale, primo benefits, and a work schedule which lets them double dip on a second job. Selling Ridgewood Water isn’t a bad idea either since the current regime can’t run a utility properly.
Another amazing promotion of a reader “thought” that is all sizzle and no steak. Give us the readers any context whatsoever here, please:
– what/whose thoughts are being controlled?
– what are these “bon mots”?
– what days gone by are they clinging to (and what does being a luddite have to do with it)?

Once again, Public sector Unions exist to make their members less accountable and more expensive. That’s it. Police, Fire, Teachers, they all need to go.
