    It used to be pretty fucking normal until they got rid of all the pensions.

    And if we’re getting a pension-friendly VP, I’m here for it. But I’m still waiting to see what a Harris/Walz economic policy looks like.

    That’s what Tim’s using for retirement instead of playing the casino stock market.

    My experience with pensions has mostly been through my parents/in-laws. And the experience I’ve had with pensions is that companies/governments can just kinda take them away again by pleading poverty during a period of historic economic expansion.

    Again, I hope Tim’s nomination implies a change in direction. But… we’ll see.
