Judge Rules That Detroit Bankruptcy Filing Is Unconstitutional

Saturday I grilled some ribs. Greasy things, taste good.
Just before shutting it off after removing the rack, a grease fire started.
I cut off the gas, tank under the grill.
Reaching for the knob, one drop of grease dripped and burned my hand. Not bad, but ugly & sore.
Considering options, I just kept the cover on and let it burn out. Could have stopped it earlier other ways, but this way the fire’s fuel was completely eradicated. Inside the grill is a blackened mess, but all outside is ok and the fuel grease gone completely.

There is a fire destroying that culture, and they want us to get burned dealing with it. Put the lid on, cut off the fuel, and let it resolve itself. Anything else will give you painful burns.

Union people like pensions over 401K’s, because it’s supposed to be a guaranteed payout. If bankruptcy guts the pensions, look for workers to want to bail on pensions, and have self-directed 401K plans — which will be devastating to the unions which manage pension funds and use them for political purposes.

Just North of Detwaa is Oakland Country run by a lovable right wing lunatic :-) L Brooks Patterson..

In the Early 90's he convinced his Union Workers to go along with a 401a ( yes there is such a beast cousin to the 401k ) and adopt a Medical Savings Plan as well.

Because of it, they have a AAA Muni Bond Rating.

They pissed and moaned about it at the time, but I bet the guy on the road crew slinging tar for pot hole patches in Oakland County right now with his 401a, would not trade his job or his 401a for a job in Detwaa and their Pension for all the Tea in China...
