Like most cities in the United States, San Francisco is up to its neck in public “servants”, all of them vastly overpaid, underworked, and fiercely protected by public employee unions. For every 20 people in San Francisco, there is 1 employee of the City of San Francisco, which is a stunning ratio. Rest assured, these thousands of not-so-hard-working employees are deep into the six figures with respect to their salaries and benefits, but there’s one chap in particular I’d like to highlight: one Mr. Stanley Ellicott, who it was discovered in January had been charged with stealing expensive gear from San Francisco and selling them on eBay.
