Reading through your always insightful post I came to a full stop aha moment on this line “Pension funds with billions of dollars to invest.” So in pension funds have a lot of surplus capital why are nearly all companies cancelling their pensions funds? I work for a major automotive brand and it happened to us a few years ago. I get they don’t want perpetual payout obligations as lifespans grow longer but if these funds are beyond solvent and in fact growing it sounds like another case of the worker getting screwed.
