Yeah I think you read it wrong.

Yes DB is better for the person. I’m saying on the market and fund manager side it didn’t really matter. I don’t think DC contributed more to risk taking or the crazy maximizing, that just seemed to happen from greed and other factors.

I still think your barking up the wrong tree. They are one cog in the machine which demand fiduciary duty.

Well those hedge fund managers still worked when it was DB pensions. But it just seemed to not be as crazy as it is now.

I’m talking about this in broad terms. What is the first way corporations in general save money? Pay employees as little as they can, destroy pension plans for new employees, etc.

The older people get, the less of their money tends to be in actual stocks,

Eh it’s still a ton. And even then it’s in bonds which a good amount are corporate bonds, and guess what the corporation wants to do.

the shares managed by retirement funds are inevitably non-voting,

Really doesn’t alleviate the pressure of “maximize the shareholder value at all costs”. Fiduciary duty is ingrained, it doesn’t need to be actively decided on by the board.

And you do get rich from stocks, not that you need to because it’s a retirement fund. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree trying to pin this on the fund managers. They personally don’t even care if the stock goes up, because they get a percent fee no matter what.

Thank you for your sacrifice (of going to x).

The largest shareholders tend to be retirement funds. It’s generational warfare that no one realizes or talks about.

What is in northern Germany?

North Korea nukes Japan. Japan: wtf again? We didn’t even do anything.

But in all seriousness, Seoul would be nuked. You nuke the invading country and if the North Korean regime is going down they don’t care about winds.

Korea is the pathway to invade China, like what happened in WW2. China does not want the US in Korea. Right now North Korea acts as a buffer.

Were they called in again?

They think the government targets them, so when the GOP get in they think it’s ok to target other people. It’s all part of the propaganda.

We basically spread to everywhere that could support us. If there was food, people lived there.

So have cities cut a deal with the feds for untaxed diesel? I always wonder. The feds might be down.

Choosing for yourself if you’re of sound mind, I have no problem with.

Others choosing for you is rife with problems. Taking out family because they don’t like you, you’re too needy for them, to get at your will, etc etc.

Bad for the asphalt though.
