I just posted in the Bidenomics thread that I was considering taking the cash instead of the pension. The dismal performance of the markets has made that choice for me. The pension it is.

Quote from: Lokmar on October 28, 2023, 08:22:08 PMI think my 401K dropped about 20% to 25% a year or 2 ago. I just quit looking at it.
I was considering taking the cash. But, I have no choice now, but to take pension. It's a pretty good pension.

Google is pure evil. Alphabet, Google's parent company, has invested $2 billion into AI start-up Anthropic. Anthropic's CEO and co-founder, Dario Amodei, claimed earlier this week that AI has anywhere between a 10 and 25 percent chance of destroying humanity.

Quote from: Lokmar on October 28, 2023, 07:31:26 PMI've made about $40K less at this point in 2023 than I did in 2019 and 2020. My book of business was so bad in 2022 that I made even less than this year. Inflation has lowered my buying power 30% too. Thankfully, My wife is making about $175K/yr or we'd be fuk'd! From 2017 to 2021, I used my income to buy shitloads of guns and ammo along with a car I can race on road courses. All this shit is nearly paid off so once Trump takes office again, I can upgrade!
I retire in the spring of 2024. As it stands now, if I were to take the money instead of the pension I would take a huge hit. Three years ago it was worth $220,000 more than it is today after three years of me and the company paying into it.

Pension plans do not like Joe Biden.

Ret. Army Lt. Col. Geoffrey S. Corn blasts comments from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in which she accused Israel of committing war crimes.

If civilian casualties were the definition of war crimes, the United States would have multiple trials and convictions for Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, former Yugoslavia, and Benghazi.

I saw this on a newsfeed and thought I would pass it on. It appeared in the Daily Mail.

QuoteAs President Joe Biden gets a Democratic challenger in Rep. Dean Phillips, a new poll showed that his approval rating among Democrats has dropped 11 points in one month and is at the lowest of his presidency.

While 75 percent of Democrats still approved of 80-year-old Biden, that number had stood at 86 percent in the September Gallup poll.
Gallup's October numbers, released Thursday, showed that Biden lost ground with independents too, going from 39 percent approval in September to 35 percent this month.

His overall approval rating for the month stood at 37 percent, down from 41 percent in September and averaging 40 percent over the last quarter.

The Democrats are running out of time to replace Biden.

Quote from: Bonesaw on October 27, 2023, 06:00:18 PMI'm curious about something.  There seems to be a lot of copy/pasting of articles on this site, and not to say that people here don't have an original thought, but I know these aren't those.  It would be beneficial, not to mention transparent if you and Herman among others would take the extra millisecond to drop the link to the article or at least cite the source that we're supposed to believe is unbiased.. though I know a lot of this stuff comes from right wing sources, I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

I remember seeing a lot of stuff from one poster whose name escapes me but ended their C/P with links to the Epoch Times.  Now I may not agree with the slant of the site in question, but it was nice to know who was talking.

And it's not even entirely or even mostly for my benefit, since I barely read the one-sided politics here, however I think you'll agree that all sources are not equal.

Just a little suggestion.
I remember posters used to post links. I guess people are getting lazy with age.
