Pension benefits grossly in excess of averaged work pay are ridiculous.
And by averaged I mean over the total years worked and adjusted for inflation.Similar to Social Security pensions.
If paid out at similar rates to SS the pension plans wouldn’t be in dire straits.
In CA it’s obscene.
CA city, county, and state government employees retire with so much money, once they retire they move to other states and drive the prices of homes up to the point where those who are actually from these places, can’t afford to buy anything.
