    Very easy to oppose labor policy from retirement. Shockingly difficult to oppose public pensions, though.

    So many die-hard conservatives will flence a sitting rep for so much as a reduction in COLA.

      Apparently he’s always felt this way, even before retirement. Every single employer he had during my lifetime before he retired screwed him over big time, and somehow he believes that it is their right to do that. It makes zero sense to me.

        The cultural indoctrination of industrialization and helping capitalists being a good thing that good citizens do I’m sure had something to do with it.

        Aka he was brainwashed like most boomers

          Also it was far easier 30, 40 years ago to survive a bit of exploitation, especially if you were a white male.

          It’s not so easy any more.
