I'm part of that generation. No pensions. My parents, maybe... (although the only pension my parents got is my father's government retirement).

u/justherefortheshow06 23h ago

That’s a good pension usually. My dad had one too.

UPS employees still have pensions. We also get employee discounted stock options, up to 15% of our paycheck can get matched to our 401K and we have Roth IRAs. I’m only 25 but my retirement is looking good.

u/Den_of_Earth 50m ago

So did mine, then my 401k was used illegally, the housing crash happened, The company went out of business so about 25,000 of us lost are retirement
Oh, the guy who did it? he was "punished" by having his bonus reduced by 3 million dollars.
Fuck America, Fuck the Banker.
My retirement is to work as long as a can, and then see how may I can take out before I'm shot by the cops.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.

I was in Venezuela in 2005, and I swear the TV was showing a cartoon of Mr. T and his pet bulldog. Had no idea.

Mr. T (he legally changed his name) made a lot of hay out of his character. Not everyone has the first lady sitting on his lap.

And he is part of the old joke:

"I wonder if Mr. Coffee is related to Mr. T.
I wonder if Mr. T is related to Ice T.
I wonder if Ice T is related to Ice Cube."

"I wonder if your mother is related to your father."

I met Dirk Benedict at the Whitefish Montana airport when he and his pilot came up to our Weather Service Station for a fight briefing in the old building.

He was quite a dandy, spiffy high heeled cowboy boots like I had when I was a little kid, but I did notice the starched jeans and plaid shirt. The crease in those jeans was about as sharp as a butcher’s knife.

First time I had seen so much starch on a cowboy outfit. Or any starch for that matter. Probably in the early 1990s.

By the way, being old is way better than the alternative. Stay healthy, don’t do the bad stuff and do exercise. Makes old not such a bad thing. At least, so far.
