Reply to BTRS vs Federal pension by TheChronicler011235
The net cash to a teacher at full retirement is approximately the same as their full salary. A 100K salary will have approximately 11K withheld for retirement. 90K taxed federally and 100K taxed by MA (5K) so you net 84K before federal tax. In retirement you get 80K pension. No withholding for pension, not subject to state tax. Also no longer paying into the teachers Union dues. That final difference of about 3K is mostly made up by only paying federal tax on 80K instead of 90K.

This the kind of shit people said back in like...2010, when someone tried to give them 10,000 bitcoins for a slice of pizza.

The amount of Engineering that goes into that is astronomical. On the oldest subway system in America. Not that easy.

Computers that āseemed out of placeā. No, entirely usual to have 40 pcs in a crawlspace in a school.

That poor person. The shock and his determination to get going is astounding. I honestly stay close to walls and avoid being too close to the edge. Scary humans out there.

Signal modernization is already happening. It's really not that hard to get the train to stop at a specific point. Maybe a bit of training for the drivers. Other cities even have driverless trains that can stop precisely enough for platform screen doors to work.

Yes. Been there for 50 years, owned by the same guy for the last 40 (who's actually an Irish immigrant, not the distant descendant of one), has a dartboard, you get the picture of what kind of bar it is.

Yes!!! We sprinted through South Station with our luggage and kids and made it just as they were closing the doors. Thanks for asking.

Youāre talking ten billion. Easy.
Probably tens of billions.

Less familiar with the area, you mean broken records, irish village or somewhere else for the cheap bar?

Okay but still don't steal from schools. That is just wrong.
