Howie thread for the week starting with his Sun. Herald columkn
So you believe the Whitey Bulger death rumors?
In terms of the article, I am a bit ambivalent. Not that I like the public sector in general, but if you were in the private sector and pillaged your company, you would still get your pension, I think, especially if it was a defined contribution plan like a 401k program. So in this case, I would be inclined to still give pensions to retired felons.
Don’t know whether or not to believe the death rumors. Who knows where he is, of course.
The problem with what Buonomo did is of course we all are subject to pay for it through confiscatory taxation. It’s not like a private company we can choose to boycott.
Would you answer be different if the losses were covered by insurance?
