  1. To add, Indiana's teachers could opt out of Social Security and into a system like Alaska's, but we don't hear @Irishman or @Coach Nowlin clamoring for change.
  2. No, the scientist in me has seen what retirement looks like for people without Social Security. If not having Social security was great, Alaska would not have a teacher shortage.
  3. It's not needed in the State of Nevada, other than the creation of a unicameral legislature.
  4. It would also not make sense for the HHC to have teams with the same mascot.
  5. I see BHSN as the most realistic candidate. If they joined, that would probably trigger a collapse of CI.
  6. Whenever legislators decide so; or when the laws and institutions stop functioning.
  7. "Taking charge of [their own] retirement" is something right-wingers have been spouting about for years. Read the article about the meme.
  8. Her being Puerto Rican certainly helps earn a pass.
  9. The status quo is Social Security, and we now have a test case where people could "TAKE CHarGE Of ThEiR retiRemEnt". And Alaska's experiment failed.
  10. We do periodically re-codify laws. Indiana's Constitution is from 1851, 35 years after statehood. The Indiana Code dates to 1976.
  11. No, but the ones on SCOTUS have an awful track record. The Dred Scott case was written by a Catholic, after all.
  12. The British said it best- Don't believe me? Look at the SCOTUS.
  13. No they weren't, they just didn't go far enough. Because G-d knows a bunch of dead slave owners should rule from the grave.
  14. Yes you do, because your ideas must be proven before they are implemented. If not having Social Security was better, Alaska would have higher teacher retention rates and would not have a shortage of applicants. Instead, the opposite is happening.
  15. And this is why we need a Federal Blaine Amendment.
  16. IDK, but there are people who have your vision of retirement- https://www.ktoo.org/2021/10/20/alaska-has-a-teacher-retention-problem-the-state-is-ready-to-pay-someone-to-help-solve-it/ From the article- The retirement system used by Alaska is one you champion. Shouldn't it keep and attract people? And a warning for all the Indiana teachers- you can suffer the same fate as those in Alaska.
  17. ...and this is why I have a teaching license- PERS.
