Let's talk about it. Why should one group of government employees be guaranteed a job for life? What could go wrong? What did go wrong?

It is a ticket to become complacent and not do a very good job .. it should be done away with.

Agreed. It is a bad idea no matter the profession.

Clarify for us please...are you talking about professors at public universities who aren't government employees?

Or are you talking about justices on the Supreme Court of the United States who are actual government employees?

They are government employees. They have state government pensions.

Want to see proof? This is just the top 200 in Illinois:

2014, but probably worse now.

What absurdly generous pension arrangements!! Do new employees still go into that criminally bad system?

It's not off topic. You literally stated "one group of government employees be guaranteed a job for life."

Maybe next time be more specific, if you intend to talk specifically about something.
