For instance, up until 2013, a fed was required to contribute 0.8% (i.e., .008) of their gross pay each pay period toward their retirement pension. Congress jacked that up to 3.1% for 2013 hires & then 4.4%(!) for anyone hired starting in 2014. That’s not money paid into a 401k (rather, the USG version, TSP). And it doesn’t mean those newer employees get bigger pensions. It’s just a big haircut on a gov’t salary. npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…dyu0 https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/116/319/643/676/075/290/original/2b1bf1b918b2538b.mp4 npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…dyu0 <DC summer gleefully rubs its hot little hands> LET’S DANCE! npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…dyu0 HVAC techs are skilled at blowing things off. npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…yz28 The articles on our Tomahawk burn rate are eye-popping.

And now those things won’t happen for decades, if ever. Did I also rant about the Manchins, Sinemas, and Fettermans who invariably insist on sending the trolley down BOTH tracks because IDK, the filibuster or bipartisanship etc ad naus? Maybe! npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…yz28 It is fair to point out that SCOTUS’s fucking through-the-lookingglass opinion on presidential immunity is an important consideration.

Instead of lurching wildly about, he set the stage for inflation being brought under control. In general, he did what Dems invariably do, which is spend inordinate amounts of time & energy un-fucking all the shit his GOP predecessor fucked up. In conclusion, fuck Mitch McConnell. npub18lm9p50n46rhxgj2m96xpzgtc4hdu7atxe0apt2dgvtjs43a8ljqrrcg3m Hoarse e-Books @nprofile…yz28 Risky though it be for me to disagree publicly with one of my instance’s admins, but “fucked everything up” seems like a wild overstatement. Should Biden have withdrawn much earlier from seeking re-election? Oh, yeah. Are there things I wish he had pushed harder for, like packing the Court or granting DC statehood? Yup. Do I hate that he failed to recognize and call out Israel’s genocide for what it is?
