It's OFFICIAL Omaha Steve to retire December 5, 2014.

We have been working under an expired contract since December of 2012. IF the new contract gets ironed out (we are going to the state commission for 2013) and will be signed before December fifth I might go earlier. The reason is a new contract is expected to reduce the pay out formula for retirees.

A retirement doesn't shield you from pension cuts.

16. I retired at the end of 2013

I have no retirement plan, and would be embarrassed to tell you how much my savings is. So I'm doing it on social security alone. I think I can do it ... maybe you can too. Keep the faith. Pay off any debt if you can. I recently moved to a small one bedroom apartment. My car is 20 years old, but it's paid for. Keep the faith.

Great financial planning.

14. The beer choices are pretty sucky.

Certainly there's something better than watery US lager.



And would Ben and Jerry's also satisfy for ice cream?

Upper crust, elitist tastes to the end.

Even if he makes it to retirement without getting aboard a disability gravy-train, the big guy's always going to feel cheated, though, as if he was robbed.

Society owed it to him, and he never got it, damn it.

It has more to do with unions than it does with 'American made,' silly DUmmie.  Seriously, who buys buns flown in from China?  Almost any product in any of those categories, outside premium items like Czech or German beer, or Italian salami, or French wine, would be 'American made.'

If he got a full time job after he retires and got "injured", could he collect disability from that one and his pension at the same time?

Yes, he could.

I have no doubt Steve Dawes is already planing his next scam. He'll throw himself down a flight of stairs at some business or hospital, or get bumped by a city bus... on December 6, 2014.

It will have to be a bus because you know whatever job he gets he will make damn sure it will not have him working on the weekend.

I don't think so. The driver of the bus is probably a union worker. By getting a union worker in trouble, OS would lose his membership in the Karl Marx fanboy club. Since the time of year is Christmas, he will get caught up in a stampede at the local Walmart while shopping for a new obama blowup doll. The one with the new and improved air nozzle used to inflate it. As a result, he will attempt to sue Walmart and be crowned the 2014 DUmmy of the Year.
