You wanna look under Retirement Under FERS > Retirement with a deferred, full pension
Edit: god that document is a pain in the ass to read and comprehend. Looks like it was designed to answer specific questions (vs getting a holistic view of the retirement program)
Can’t decide how I’d feel about this.
On one hand, they’d probably ruin the scenic ocean views from Mar-a-lago. On the other, the owners would probably make a tom (more) money off it.
Huh, and these experts get paid? And I assume good money too, yeah?
Hell, I can make assessments like this! Where to I apply?
"Yeah Facebook, I’d like to report this post.
Reason: I’m in it and don’t like it"
Ah, yup, this makes sense. I’m in good ol’ U.S. of A (for context in my previous comments, in case it wasn’t obvious). Hearing about these European laws def makes me envious for some modern work reforms.
You’re not wrong, and I agree.
TL;DR: I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of good enough.
I do worry that being too aggressive with that rate would cause the private sector to lobby extra hard and thus prevent any legislation from happening in the first place, hence why I suggest a reduced (but still substantial) stipend for the unemployed-but-still-bound period. In the sectors this most effects, the pay is generally high enough that one would have a comparatively easy time surviving on half salary while they figure out next life steps (as loathsome a compromise of that scale would be)
That’s neat.
I’ve been saying that basically needs to be the way non-competes work (that you receive some payment; 50-75% of original salary while unemployed and under non-compete) restrictions.
So that says to me there was a worse economic downturn for farmers in mid 70’s.
I know there was a bunch of junk with oil at the time. Is that what the downturn was about or was there something else happening at that time to beat on farmers specifically? Any history buffs with the inside scoop care to share?
AOC:
“The cap on that is $25,000. While you’re jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,00 across the United States…So if you’re at home and you’re living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you?..This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt…To give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation? We can not stand for it, and we will not support it.”
(its unclear from this quote if that’s no tax on $25,000 in gross income for tipped workers; the first $25,000 in tips; or if there are no taxes on those only for those who make under $25,000 per year. None of the possible meaning is a good one, to be clear, but that’s what I was hoping to get answered).
Article isn’t actually that long and is effectively a short rant AOC gave. Still annoyed with OP for click bait title without substance in post.
Can’t wait to hear his response to this on the next podcast.
Anyway to get a copy of this?
On the one hand, it sucks that sometimes really bad people who’ve done really bad things go free because of a seemingly minor technicality.
On the other, there’s a set process to help keep the law fair. Miranda rights and the need to voice them to suspects when they’re arrested exist because police will totally take advantage of arrestees, and because police have acted unethically towards ignorant people who don’t know what rights they retain when arrested.
I’m confident Luigi didn’t need a reminder of his rights when arrested, but if the cops really thought they were arresting the killer of that United Health CEO, then there’s no excuse for them not bringing their A-game with how high profile it was all bound to be. It’d be really embarrassing for them if they missed that tiny detail.
