  • But seniors should establish their own retirement plans beyond Social Security to ensure sufficient living funds, Cirksena said. “For retirees, the key takeaway is this: Social Security will change, but if you have a strong retirement plan that doesn’t rely on it entirely, you won’t be left scrambling.”

    Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.

    Should people be establishing their own retirement plan before that point? Definitely. But what about the people who work hard for shitty employers who stiff them because they couldn’t find a better job elsewhere? I guess just fuck them, or something. /s

  • Amusing that his Twitter avatar looks like a black hole, considering that’s where his abject incompetence is sucking the national infrastructure (and all of us) into.

    On this latest debacle: Great idea Musk! Fire a bunch of people from an already stressed-out agency, then watch as a string of accidents happen, and then publication beg for retired controllers to come back.

    Pushing tin is an incredibly stressful and intense job. Those who retired are probably a) no longer capable of dealing with that stress, and/or b) don’t want to deal with it and deserve a well-earned retirement.

    But hey, maybe with all the bullshit stripping away of social security, Medicare, etc etc, they will be forced to come out of retirement to help. I’m sure that’s not a recipe for disaster!

    For fuck’s sake, we live in the stupidest timeline, I swear. And we can’t even fully enjoy Musk ruining his ill-deserved legacy and humiliating himself, because all of us are the collateral damage.
