I'm all for government butting out of my life. But what they did, overnight, to all the younger guys was terrible. I'm all for taking away mandatory retirement, but in a controlled manner such as 1 yr up every 3 yrs or so, like someone said in a previous post. It was a 5 yr seat lock in positions that weren't designed for long term prospects.
I'm just happy there - might - be a light at the end of this long, terrible paying/QOL tunnel soon.
