[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a career fed and there is a ton of fraud, waste, and abuse. I welcome Elon taking a look and stopping some of it. [/quote]

I am a former fed and agree.  You could fire 2/3 or more of the agency I worked for and there would be no discernible impact.  My colleagues and I would talk about how a fed job was a form of welfare.  At least then you had to show up and pretend to do work to get paid. For the last five years, you didn’t even have to show up. [/quote]

+1.   I am talking people who should be retired.  People who don’t do their share of the work.  Just lingering and collecting.   This is who needs to go.  👍[/quote]

Given lifespans these days and cost of living, white collar workers really shouldn't be retiring in their 60s if they are healthy and productive.  It's hard to save money to live for 20 years by working 40.  Easier to work for 50 and save for 10.

My grandma lived to be 101.  She had a widow's corporate pension and medical for 36 years.  I will only have 401K and nothing beyond Medicare if it even exists.  My regular retirement age is 67.

If the US isn't going to be as immigrant friendly, we need people to work longer to keep productivity up and paying into the social insurance system.

I'm sorry your older co-workers aren't productive.  That makes it harder to get people to consider my point.  My company just laid off a bunch of people with 37-39 years service.  It's not clear to me that their productivity had changed.  They were just a middle management layer.  Now those people are in their early 60s and could probably work another 10 years but probably won't get the chance.  We need to figure out ways to let older workers continue to participate meaningfully in the economy.[/quote]
