Do you think that this guy is in to his “second” career? Doesn’t sound like it. O and RR retirement and Post Office retirement is totally divorced from “Social Security”.
That doesn’t explain how HE is part of the problem because he was in a job that offered retirement at a young age. So, the guys who work for the railroads, military or USPS get to retire earlier, that was the deal everyone agreed to when they signed up. Same is true for many teachers and police/firemen.
If he chose not to pursue a second career and to live instead on his RR retirement, I don’t get the problem or how HE is part of it.
