Just out of curiosity (and tell me to f**k off if it is not my
business) but how much does a life time of labor get you in your
socialist service check?

Well, after 50 years of working, and only 35 of that count in the
numbers games they play to come up with a figure, it only comes to
$877/month, which is reduced from $1,168 because I took my retirement at
62 instead of 65...oops...that got extended to 66 back a few years ago
by bureaucratic decree. I've been advised to take it ASAP because
they're broke and looking for ways to weasle out of it. I figured the
date would be extended more years in the near future to 70 or 75 or 95
at the stroke of a pen. But, now I'm on it so they'll have to take it
away, if they dare.

I won't live well on it, but during the depression I won't starve like
many will, either.


Coming depression? You're being the curve here Larry. LOL

Remember, a resession is when your neighbor has been laid off. A depression
is when you're laid off.
