What is your remedy? I'm all ears
The thing is, pension reform has been changing but slowly and gradually. There isn't much you can do to existing tiers that are contractually obligated without being sued to kingdom come. I'm a Firemen, the tier I'm in we have to do 25 years instead of 20. We pay 2-3% more into our pension. Our OT while technically isn't capped is capped in a round about way. You can't completely fukk the unborn and then have them work with guys with a sweetheart pension, it'll create serious animosity.
Thank you for the insight.
Regarding the latter..thats why I suggested cutting it for people who relocate. Minimal other adjustments.

I got an idea for pension reform: SUCK MY dikk
Stop carrying right wing shytheads water for them...they want pensions to go away because they hate the idea of ANYONE getting ANYTHING for free if there's a minute chance that non-White people might get it, and that's the bottom line of it.
There should be MORE pensions and GOP lapdogs and the shills that post on The Coli for em should stop trying to fukking workers in the ass because *sniff sniff* they might have to pay an extra % on their capital gains tax or *GASP* get taxed more for income over 400K
God you nikkas love sucking your oppressors dikks and then telling us that both sides are the fukking same

they shouldnt do anything to existing tiers, if you signed on the dotted line you should get what you signed up for
but someone is gonna have to say "tough shyt" to the new guys eventually
theres no reason they cant change the pay structure for people who havent started yet. and this should be accompanied with a pay increase up front. but it's that or the whole thing tanksim not even against pensions. in an ideal world there should be more pensions, sure. something has to be re-adjusted in the formulas or whatever to make them viable long-term. they need funding thats not going to be there at the current rate. if you want to act like im advocating for ripping up contracts and taking away retirement benefits from employees then be my guest. its just simply not the case
Brother I honestly don't know. The system is set up to encourage the type of corruption we're talking about, and then protect those in govt who take part. This whole system needs to be drastically restructured, but I don't see it happening.

not one person here is against taxing the wealthy more and very few are against raising capital gains tax so idk what the hell hes talking about. God forbid theres any conversation about reforming pensions so people can still receive them.

imagine thinking the GOP has anything to do with NYC politics
and your other post was right, i dont have anything against pensions either. but that's if the system works; it does not work

I'm not seeing that. I was actually pointing out that eliminating pensions or reducing them will only create new expenses and societal issues. Pretty straight forwards really. I figured you understood that even if you didn't like it but I guess I was wrong.

Maybe try this first? Give criminal justice reform a real shot, maybe close a few prisons?
