The AARP slaughters anyone who touches social security or medicare.
but tbh some of the payouts are fucking crazy
Boomers will admit it's a ponzi scheme.
The military is heavily, and possibly over-compensated, to be honest.
You're looking at serving maybe a decade and collecting 30k for the next 40-50 years.
But it's their turn because they paid into it. And they'll be damned if they're left holding the bag.
and in the same breath they'll say "don't cut it because I paid into it! It's my money!"
"But.. That's what happens to us after you."
i dunno iif im gonna go as far as you @pratel
That adds up when you track how many people serve and then get pretty high paying jobs afterwards.
Well, here my dad gets a reduction in petrol prizes, free healthcare, and even scholarships for his family
And he only served for three deacades
For military?
Yep, Air force
3 decades makes sense for a nice pension.
yeah it makes sense
That's basically a career.
Basically
He joined when he was 17 lol
It's the guys who never get past the low levels but collect pensions for a lifetime that make you scratch your head.
Oh I should mention
Can those guys get jobs elsewhere?
Giving your kids ritalin means they can probably never hold office.
"Why?"
Because it means they can never serve in the military.
"--Huh?"
@pratel who actually stays in the low levels and gets a pension?
You'll be running against people who have served in the military.
They win and you don't, in most circumstances.
You Americans should medicate children less
@oprahsminge I'm not sure. But I've heard people talk about it.
that's seeming to become a trend @Abel
Here we tell them to grow the fuck up
the reduction of it
I'm not 100% familiar with military compensation to be honest.
Parents get bamboozled.
They didn't know what ritalin really was.
It came highly recommended
But I know you can get a surprisingly solid pension for surprisingly little time served.
And people seemed to be experts.
