Who gets pensions any more? -- nm - con_carne May 18, 08:47 7
- I have a pension plan. -- nm - Callisto May 18, 08:53 3
  - I just don't know much about them. During my years at Monster, I can count the number of job listings I've seen offering a pension on one hand. -- nm - con_carne May 18, 08:59 2
    - A number of larger companies still do, plus the fed. government does. -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 09:00 1
      - Yup, and of course the highly unionized jobs. -- nm - con_carne May 18, 09:01
- I have a very small pension. It's not being contributed to any more, as my employer ended the pension program. - ty97 May 18, 08:52
- I do. -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 08:52
- Actually, I have a pension plan here. Surprised me too. -- nm - TFox May 18, 08:51

- I agree, but from the ariticle's summary of the decision, isn't the court ruling technically correct? - musubi May 18, 08:49 1

- *nods* This court is way too far right. -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 08:47 11
  - on that subject, there's good bio of John Roberts in the New Yorker this week, too -- (link) - znufrii May 18, 08:50 1

      - Actually, it's exactly the point. In the end, the justices have to make sense of cases, in light of the law. - ty97 May 18, 08:56 1

      - What do you mean "overrule"? Does that mean making new legislation? -- nm - con_carne May 18, 08:55 3
