[quote=flyer]Hey, flu, I think (sadly) you’ll be proven correct in most of your “rants.”
Like you, I’m not worried, because, bottom line, I plan to take care of myself and my family to the highest degree possible, for as long as possible and enjoy life–whatever our state and federal governments throw at us. As long as you can live your dreams–you win.[/quote]
Honest question, flyer: Do you think you’d be where you are today if you had to start from scratch in the year 2000 or 2004? Even you have benefited greatly from unions and, IIRC, you have a DB pension, yourself. The people starting out today in the very same profession are extremely unlikely to see the same trajectory you’ve seen in your lifetime. Much of what you have (just based on what you’ve posted in the past) is a result of everything flu is ranting against.
