Central State Pension Crisis

So, pensions are now failing in the Central States.....

There isn't enough money in the fund, it was spent years ago..... This isn't going to end well....

So we have a choice to make....keep subsidizing the boomers and let the entire company go under....or let them go and look after our own future.....

 

Pensions are overrated anyway

 

Old news. Where have you been--living under a rock?

 

That gets my vote

 

Eliminate pensions for anyone currently working unless you have less than 5 years before retirement.
Boomers built this country into what it is.
Gen X and Millennials deserve nothing.

 

You don’t get one of those anymore.

 

unless you live in Illinois---then you get 2 or 3 votes

 

easy fix. Just don't retire from UPS

I don't know why ppl would want to retire from their dream job anyway.

 

That’s ok, I’ll hand out $1 iTunes gift cards to anyone under 10 years seniority to override those votes.

 

That is excellent advise for everyone else but me

 

At 8.5hrs a day, I’ll be here forever.

 

Sadly that would work. And the part timers wonder why they constantly get screwed

 

I don't disagree with this. Pensions are a ponzi scheme, it's unsustainable. Not enough money for all the retirees who were promised that they could live for free doing nothing. People used to die around 65 years. Now they are living well-beyond that. 25 years of being subsidized isn't going to work.

 

Psssssst save your own money in case this all goes down the tubes...

 

Boomers destroyed this country. Ttku....

 

it was fun while it lasted

 

150 years if you’re @rod .

 

Time for the youngsters to take over and show you how to run a country.

 

Which European model should we pick up and run with?
