Reply to comment by pokemin49 in NYC Council has no plan to pass bill that would let Mayor Adams charge retired city workers for health care: ‘It’s dead’ by F_T_N_32

Workers gave their lives to their jobs, at lower than market salary, many for 30+ years, investing in their pensions over that time... and you think Adams should ROB them of their money?

You are obviously a corporate stooge. Vile, disgusting and VERY likely a criminal. Betting you're a "conservative."

Then they should pay the market rate for labor. Pensions should be illegal. They are a way for dishonest politicians to make promises that they themselves won't have to deliver.

If you haven't checked Adams has a (D) by his name. You can blame your failed Democrat leadership for the state of the city.

That is a ridiculous argument. For city employees, both the salary and pensions come from the same place. Tax dollars... so your solution is self nullifying.

Clearly you have a personal agenda and no idea what you are talking about.

Pensions are ponzi schemes. So is social security. They are conceptually unethical.

Now I know you have no idea what you are talking about. Bet you lost hard on crypto (the real ponzi schemes).
Unethical is trying to rob people of their long invested in and earned entitlements. The GOP has been trying to rob people of their money for 50 years. There isn't a republican alive who understands fiscal responsibility worth a damn... it's just another empty card in their non-existent platform.

Those who cannot see that are either enemies of the USA, or morons.

Look at the what we conservatives did for the post office. They tried to pull the same shady stunt with pensions. Now we've forced them to pay for retirements as they go, so thirty years from now they won't hold the government hostage demanding a bailout.

This is what fiscal responsibility looks like. It's hard choices, and a lot of people not getting what they want.

Again, you're exceedingly ill-informed and positively reek of personal agenda (lacking common sense).

I'm done being bored with you.
