Anyone else notice parallels between Greece’s economy-breaking retirement-at-50 for public workers and local wasteful political sinecures and sickening Massachusetts political retirement abuses and BPD hogs at the trough?
Please share widely!
Massachusetts & Greece
it’s everyone including those who never paid into retirement. The fact of the matter there a tons of exclusions where mostly everyone has an early retirement. There are populations of farmers who lived off the land and never paid into any retirement, now that the farming community in gone, seniors who still live in the valleys are paid a generous retirement, it has gone down some over the past decade but it’s still substantial.

This is the conservative answer to the idea that both the US and China execute prisoners…so our approach to justice is thus comparable.

Like the parallels between a candle and a forest fire.
