I said it before and I’ll say it again, I anticipate interesting times ahead all because shit for brains politicians are more interested in covering their own back sides than admitting anything is wrong w/ the way they setup/operate-portfolios and award themselves compensation/pensions
for example we see in local news
[quote] Supervisors raise their own pay in face of opposition
As some citizens yelled “shame on you,” San Diego County Supervisors voted Tuesday to give themselves a 12.5 percent pay raise,…
The move increases the supervisors’ salary by more than $19,000 and also raises their pension.
where the mindset of TPTB is to hide figures from the voters/taxpayers and hope that somehow the issue magically gets better/fixed OR at least goes away on their watch
[quote] ‘OMG,’ ‘WTF’: Emails Show SANDAG Knew Forecasts Were Wrong, Went to Voters With False Promise Anyway
as for mitigations/solutions (to the public pension issue and its fallout), well all I can suggest is a have personal hedge in place so that its possible to run just a bit faster that the other guy because as the joke goes about two guys camping in the woods, the survivor is the guy who didn’t get caught and crushed by the bear (market)
