    Bad deal...

    Realistically, I think it has to be 1 followed by 2. Ultimately the Company and their insurers need to cover the cost of the accident. That will involve considerable time to hold them to account. We can't wait for that, the bridge and harbor need to be fixed as soon as humanly possible. I have...

    Fixing social security

    People are incredibly naive if they think that absent a SS program, their employer is going to hand their SS match to them in wages. A company is going to take that saving as their own. There is a decent chance they'd have their eye on the percentage of your wages, presently going toward the...

    Fixing social security

    We aren't. One of the reasons we have so much debt, is that we want more government services than we want to pay for. Our politicians have obliged us.

    Fixing social security

    Yeah, your posts exude respect, lot of it. None of us approve how every federal dollar is spent, kinda comes with the territory.

    Do you have anything other than trolling to bring to the thread?

    Fixing social security

    At the 11th hour, Uncle Sam will shore up social security. It won't happen much sooner, because no one likes making tough choices before they absolutely have to. I think it is a political reality that each side will have to share some pain to come up with a fix. So, it will be some mix of tax...

    Much of this discussion proves the need for the floor that Social Security provides. For reasons good and bad, many people end up old and broke. Some never made very much money, some spent their money as fast as they made it. Once you get old, there are no mulligans. I worked many years in an...

    Roughly one in six men draw SS benefits for thirty years, if they begin drawing at 62. About one in five men do not live long enough to reach 62, the earliest year they could draw a benefit. Social Security is a floor, not a supplement. Yes, for the comfortable, like myself, it is a...

    More Eve of Destruction news

    I think that in the coming 20 years or so, it will be evident that the shift to 401k as the primary retirement funding has failed most Americans. Companies were happy to shift the onus to the employee. Once they pay their match, their obligation is fulfilled. It is entirely the individuals'...

    Here is some data from a Social Security web site. The big gains in life expectancy have come from reducing infant mortality. Once you made it to adulthood, the changes over the years have been pretty modest. https://www.ssa.gov/history/lifeexpect.html I agree that SS is a backstop against...

    More Eve of Destruction news

    Anyone who makes their money from physical labor, bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plumbers and on and on, telling them they are working to 69, you might as well tell them they will work until they can't. It won't affect me directly, since I'm already on Social Security, coming 73 in a couple...

    Not on Your Bucket List

    I don't spend a moment day dreaming about hunting Africa. I spend the same amount of time dreaming about mountain lions, or black bears.

    The End

    Speak for yourself. By any reasonable measure, I've lived my version of the American dream. If you are not better off than you were ten years ago, more than a little of it is on you.

    No, I'd say putting up with your drivel is the hold up. Go find another heel to nip at.

    The End

    Yeah, I read it and am cool with it. If Ukraine's neighbors want to help with soldiers, outside of the NATO command, I'm totally cool with it. I'd like to see us helping with supplies, ammo, weapons, training, you get the idea.

    Nothing in that bothers me, at all.

    The End

    And if you believe that to be so, there are many other things you believe to be true , that aren't. I have no doubt there is some intelligence sharing, but I think NATO is smart enough to not get drawn in unnecessarily.

    Hard to say... he was in the closet about many things perhaps.

    Just asking... Is that former Senator Larry Craig? His stance looks pretty wide.

    The End

    I actually do own some Pfizer stock. I've taken their shot several times. That is a pretty impressive non sequitur. I'm sure you have more.
