   “have not provided any proof” well, it would be difficult to “prove” that I have a sister who is a retired teacher and receives a pension.

   how would I “prove” this to your satisfaction? shall I post images of her most recent check? lol

   It’s fine if you don’t believe me. Some people do not believe that the world is round. Others believe that one political party is superior to the other. Others believe they both hold countless shills who care only about themselves. Still more believe they have a supremely powerful friend who lives in the sky. Or that the earth is 6,000 years old, give or take. I really can’t spend much time worrying about what you believe.

   sorry if you feel like I was trolling. I feel like I was pointing out that there are (in this case anyway) 2 sides to every coin.

   the pay & conditions are somewhere between “poor” and “not great”.but the benefits are (or can be) quite good.

   and you get summers off (which may, in part, explain why the pay seems lower than jobs that run year round).

   I think if you look it up (I just did yesterday, lol) the WEP only applies to your SS benefits if you have a pension and had a job that did NOT withhold for social security. which I believe is more common w/ fire, police.

   yeah congress will make changes, lol. so far the only changes have been to increase the retirement age. nothing is being done to meaningfully increase the funding.

    actually, I have a fairly good idea, as my sister taught special ed for grade school kids for 30+ years.I never said they were over paid or did not work hard. I didn’t even bring up having summers off, lol.

    I just said the benefits were excellent if you could last long enough.

    I also said “name 5 JOBS” not “elected positions / political appointments”.
