There’s talk about “retired cops” in Florida relaxing on the links after cashing $185,000 pension checks.
They hype their overtime last two years, so they get higher pensions.
At least that scam is getting a lot of exposure now (and being remedied for current cops); sadly, the only thing driving much of the pension reform is the clamor from current non-white residents about how much money these formerly-white areas owe to primarily white retirees (leaving nothing for them to fund schools or pay new cops).
An acquaintance recently retired as a cop at 46, after 25 years on the job (he joined before college requirements became the norm); this guy will probably be a drain as a retiree for longer then he even worked. This problem is literally destroying NJ; the disintegration into a Third World mess is irreversible, with Third Worlders being trafficked here to replace the fleeing American taxpayers and their employers (to avoid the spread of Gold Rush-type ghost towns). Those states with viable economies will be subsidizing these newcomers for everything.
