2. Broken promises.

many of these pensions both public and private sector were offered as better security and higher payout than federal Social Security. Many dedicated long-term employees thought they were being offered incentives to stay out of the job market and benefit the employer with retained skill, knowledge and experience.

The contempt shown for labor promises and contracts, and present disregard of workers as an expense on a balance sheet rather than an asset is of course an inevitable function of the capitalist system.

Capitalism will never work for the people. Unless you like crumbs.
