This chapter in my sociology class was on ageism. We learned about how company controlled pensions were switched out to 401ks in the US. Chapter 11 bankruptcy was destigmatized, and accepted as a business strategy. Promised pensions were dissipated, because companies would rather make a more profit, than set the money aside.

I had to research federal pensions, to see what I might get in the parks service. It was a good wake-up call, to get me to care about grades.

That says a lot about my mental status. Before Obamacare I was suicidal all the time. Now I can afford medicine, and I am fretting about 401ks.

In an unrelated tangent, if you had a corporation could you just let the stocks be traded on this new "better" market? LLPs still look better to me.
