I think it's sad that people believe that retirement will still be a thing in 20 years.....

True. However, when background investigations are done, the entire package is supposed to be read by a human being.

Hell, they interviewed a sampling of my high school teachers, junior high teachers, and former neighbors for one of my background investigations and that was almost a decade after I'd left my home town. The fact that a little of that effort wasn't directed in a timely manner toward the crazy lady is regrettable.

One of the funniest things I observed was how long some background checks and clearances were made. The minimum clearance the employees had to maintain where I worked was "confidential". My background check and clearance took about 6 months, but most that were fresh out of the Navy, retired or not, took between 9 months to a year, and some of those held higher clearances while in the Navy.

ok, out of sheer morbid curiosity, what do YOU think will be the situation in 20 years? Involuntary servitude? Charred remains?

Or are you using the word "retirement" to mean SSA benefits?

I certainly don't expect to ever retire. I'm planning on being minimally self employed.

I'm interested also on what that means. If I'm still alive, I'll be damned if I'll get a job in my 80's.

To All,

Speaking of "background investigations" & (also) "pet peeves", shortly after I retired I moved for a few years to a city that requires two fingerprint cards (taken ONLY at the local police station, "every other Wednesday between 1PM & 3PM, on a first come, first served basis" & at a cost of 35.oo), four passport-sized photos, "a full background investigation to age 6YO", a "medical examination" by a local physician & about 3-4 hours of filling out of (needlessly complicated) blank forms.

When after more than 6 weeks that I called so see why I had not received a call to come & pick up my permit, I was then told that "Your application was refused."
When I then asked, "WHY" it was refused, I was told that I had not passed my background investigation, "for cause".
(Inasmuch as I had passed a Special Background Investigation conducted by Army Intelligence & the FBI just a year before & "without derogatory information being found", I found that result, "unlikely".)

Now being "more than a little irritated", I dressed & went downtown to the office that issues permits & asked to speak to the "person in charge".
About an hour later, I finally got to talk to the "Chief Clerk", who "pulled my file", read through it & said, "I see no reason for your application to have been refused."

To make a long/detailed story shorter, it turns out that my application as a 60YO retired military officer & former federal LEO had had my "fitness to carry a concealed weapon" evaluated by a 19YO college intern.
(She finally admitted to the Chief Clerk that, "I HATE COPS & SOLDIERS, too & he's both of them.")

Btw, I left the office that afternoon with my permit in hand.

yours, satx

Obviously, you're a fascist.

easy rider,

I wonder how many (IF ANY) of the so-called LEFTISTS know that the fascist regimes of Germany, Italy & Spain ALL started out as LEFTIST-SOCIALIST parties that got into power & thereafter became TYRANNICAL??

Throughout the NSDAP & Italian Fascist Party regimes (and in general in Franco's Spain), IF you were a "party member", you had all of the things that today's LEFTIST MORONS claim that they favor for the USA. = "Cradle to Grave Socialism", including full "government paid" healthcare, guaranteed yearly income, access to "special stores" (where party members could buy things that "ordinary people" couldn't often buy at any price), discounted fuel & often a party-supplied (i e., FREE) vehicle for their use.

Put them all in brown uniforms and see if you can tell the difference from the brown shirts of Nazi Germany.

easy rider,

SADLY, some of the "DU Dummies" & BLM would happily wear BLACK uniforms with shiny jack boots & "tastefully decorated with" twin lightening bolts on the collar.

Ya gotta love "may issue" jurisdictions. Thankfully the courts are striking down some of them.

It's likely to go back to pre-SSA.....people will work until they can't anymore and live off of private pensions or family. SSA will be extinct. And, if the gov't goes after 401K's and other private retirement plans, things will get hairy fast.
