BTW, your pensions are NOT sacrosanct. Dwell on that.
As a self-employed individual I don't have a fat pension awaiting. But, that is fine with me. It still doesn't change the fact that we are safer here than anywhere in the world thanks to the "thugs" who push back on law-breakers. I'd much rather have the possibility of them erring than your version of cartels running the show. Go join the Zapatas...they'll teach you a thing about "under the bus.".
