To be honest, this entire thread and every single other thread on the topic belongs in chat.
No exceptions.
In the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies the topic of unfunded pensions was debated ad nauseam in the Tulsa World (democrat morning paper) and in the Tulsa Tribune (republican evening paper) and people either fell into the camp of “this will eventually crash and burn” or “by the time this is a problem a new source of money will magically appear”. The folks who took the latter position really meant that they would be long dead or at least out of office when the crash came.
Here we are.
Water is wet.
The sun rises in the east.
Things not paid for collapse.
All of which are proper topics for chat, and not one of which is in any way, shape, or form news.
