My last job working as a radio tech in the private sector, we used to sell cheap lapel microphones to police departments that weren’t public safety grade, and were not water-resistant either. Of course, the police departments had all the money in the world for fancy cars and heavy weapons for their SWAT teams, but they just couldn’t be bothered to buy quality radio equipment. Of course the boss would have us go ahead and sell them the cheap crap, only to have the cops come back and bitch later that the crap we sold them was unreliable, and our ball-less wonder boss man would give them free replacements. I asked why they bothered selling cheap crap to cops anyways, and all I got was they would just buy the cheap shit from someone else, might as well be us. Well in the end they got free replacements for their broke-ass mics and we lost our ass. But I’m just some stupid former Air Force tech, what the hell do I know about private enterprise? I ended up getting fed up being paid peanuts and no benefits and little vacation time with them, plus all the other fuck-ups, and quit.

Now I work a government job as a radio tech, with better pay, bennies and vacation than I could expect in the private sector where I live. Even stranger, all the private shops in the area are so screwed up, that the county government radio shop actually does a better job repairing county radio equipment and handling business. Yet the conventional wisdom is that private enterprise is ALWAYS better and more efficient than any government entity. In theory it is, but our world is so fucked up right now in practice everything is turned upside down.
