... if they're selfish.
As a minority I can say this: most people are selfish.
It takes a very rare type of personality to acknowledge that the guy or gal who comes by and picks up and removes the trash is just as valueable to society as a King.

Well, from an economics standpoint the value of one's labor is determined by 1) How complex the task is.Rhink intelligence and domain specific knowledge, like say programming or medicine.
2) How low the desire to do the task is.Yeah, some people don't want to stear at the insides of a human or lines of code all day.
3)How much damage can be done if it is fucked up.Umm, botches operation or buggy car/plane software sending the relevant vehicle to hell.
4)How physically demanding it can be.Somebody who does more intense labor will probably get more than the cacheir at a fast food joint.
Garbage truck drivers usually take home a better salary than McDonalds employees, but it is still not the highest qualified job.
Of course that doesn't mean they should be looked down upon, if somebody can make ends meet legally then that job is not something a person should be shamed about doing.
TBH I have thought about trying out for a position in the forestry in my home village and ditching IT behind on a few occasions.Or just going there and raising chickens and planting potatoes.
However, people differ in intellectual capacity, motivation, aptitude and a lot of other areas.
I am in it for the money, and I frankly want to keep as much of it as possible, so I prefer having a minimalist "gubrmint" with as little redistribution as possible.

"BEEP!"
your not wrong but simply switching things on paper doesn't fix that. The best rulers are like janitors. if they are doing thier job right you only notice them when they aren't around. People who want to be in charge though typically only care about the trappings of ruling.

There is a saying where I am from "If he ain't good for anything, make him a manager" A lot of completely useless, incompetent people push themselves into administrative positions because they ain't good for shit.

The best leaders are the ones who don't want the job. They get tossed into enormous piles of shit, make it stink less, and would really rather be taking a nap under a pile of blankets instead of dealing with everyone else's bullshit.

This is not, has not, and never has been either a widespread belief of or platform plank of conservatives.
It has always been leftist propaganda, aided by the fact that yes, you can find a few people within the movement who do have that attitude. As usual though, the leftist media takes the exception, and treats it like the standard.
All of this is evidenced by how conservatives give more to charity, and have for decades.

Both sides espouse things I will vehemently disagree with.

Here was have the journalist of the future, already squatting out the most vapid attention-grabbing hot takes she can come up with.
To be fair she is primarily focusing on the fact that an armed police officer was in a position where the nutcase could grab his gun, not on the response after said nutcase grabbed the gun and opened fire. That, I think, is a reasonable position, after all if there was no armed officer in reach he couldn't have gotten the gun in the first place. And also shows a failure in training on the part of the police department in that they failed to adequately train that officer in situational awareness and maintaining positive control of their firearm.
One reason I love triple-lock holsters. If you open carry, they are essential.

As that's something I'm looking into, could you link me some decent examples?
Here's a decent place to start. 9 Top Retention Holsters For Law Enforcement – Tactical Life Gun Magazine: Gun News and Gun Reviews (tactical-life.com)
I think I picked mine up at a local shop. It just needed a bit of twisting motion accompanying the normal draw to pull. Anything from else would result in someone tugging me towards them.
Just ask the dealer for a retention or triple lock duty rig and they'll know what you need. They should also be able to demonstrate how it works...obviously. And don't put it on a cheap belt. Get a nylon or metal reinforced carry belt to bare the load and prevent breaks if someone really does go after it.
