Mousetrap for Millennials is pretty much unchanged except instead of mice your game piece is a Mr Monopoly and instead of a trap you're building a guillotine.

I genuinely miss the days when Scooby Doo had the big reveal at the end of the episode and it was just some cruel, greedy white man out to hurt innocent people for his own gain. And not a literal monster. Just seems pointless now.

The university I professor at is having a bit of a Grey Crisis in that they can't hire new people at competitive salaries because the money isn't there. Where is the money? It's going into pension funds for professors who are in their 60s and 70s. How much? The university pays 20% (twenty percent) of these prof salarues into a pension for them. Not matched, just 20% extra. I mean I'm all for taking care of people but that seems a bit excessive, right?

Not matched, just 20% extra. In the first part of the 1900's when pensions began, old people were never expected to live too far past 70. Olds were expected to retire at 62, enjoy their end collect a pension for ~8 years and then die. They don't do that anymore, they just truck along well into their 80's and 90's. Of course there's the factor that most of capitalism is founded on forever increased growth, which would cover more and more people being on a pension. Of course the last 30-40 years have shown us that that's just a stupid idea that we still cling to for some reason.

Aren’t pensions just money taken out of an employee’s salary that they can take later when they retire (I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it)? If so, then I gave to wonder how the money is being managed by the institution and whether cutting pensions is wage theft.

If so, then I gave to wonder how the money is being managed by the institution and whether cutting pensions is wage theft. I don't think so. I think a pension is just "we continue paying you a portion of your salary after you're gone". If is "funded" from the employees pay then the amount they get out far exceeds the amount they put in.

That money isn't just stored until you get old, it funds old people's current pensions. The problem is young people can't have kids, the population is getting older and the wages don't increase so basically there isn't enough money to get around, not because the system is flawed but because capitalism is. Of course neoliberals will simply point at the current failing system and go "see? It's just not viable" and cut pensions till they eventually disappear.

It's also why they're moving on from a defined-benefit plan to a defined-contribution plan, because it frees the employer from the obligation of paying a certain amount.

If so, then I gave to wonder how the money is being managed by the institution and whether cutting pensions is wage theft. You're right even if they aren't paying into a pension plan. Benefits are offered by employers in lieu of higher pay. A pension is a benefit that is used as a means to pay out lower wages now in exchange for the pension later. It isn't the professors' fault that the employer now can't meet their obligations (or more likely, doesn't want to). If there was no pension all those professors would have just been paid more while they were working. Moridin920 has issued a correction as of 16:22 on Oct 25, 2018 |
