[quote] Pacific Legal Backs San Diego Mayor’s Pension Push in SCOTUS
The mayor of San Diego has a First Amendment right to advocate for changes to the city’s retirement plan without first meeting with labor unions, the Pacific Legal Foundation said in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The conservative public interest law firm wants the justices to undo a 2018 decision by the California Supreme Court holding that the state’s “meet-and-confer requirements” …
seems the way things stand beneficiaries of the status quo (i.e. the local political bureaucracy AND public pension recipients) are acting akin to leadership or the minion “believers” of old church orthodoxy,… which made laws saying that the Earth is the immovable center of the universe
in other words, its like all the beneficiaries are arguing w/ themselves over the pension status quo saying “legal laws” are all that matters and basically ignore fundamental forces in nature (like gravity)
I mention this because, seems the way the pension portfolio was structured is akin to a projectile that has a explosive force that moves it,… for a small time frame right after an explosion stuff will be forced upward, BUT eventually things will come crashing down due to the influence of gravity
guess since lawyers and “legal laws” pay little or no attention to math/physics,… AND because beneficiaries of the status quo (i.e. the local political bureaucracy AND public pension recipients) don’t want to admit to a root cause being DISHONEST and DUMB portfolio management
lawyers from both sides are going to run up the tab arguing over “free speech” AND I’ll bet both sides never once mention the issue of “bad math” which continues to create ever growing debt!
