Old Falcon Fart is still in a state of duh-nile ever since Car 54 and Mr. Ed were cancelled from the prime time TV lineups.
And when Gun Smoke, Wagon Train, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett all went off the air.... he's never been the same. Perhaps we've been too hard on him.

Retirement is sweet. All the retirement benefits have worked out great for me. It's a shame Tex and Cactus didn't better prepare for retirement. Cant blame poor preparation on anyone but themselves.
Unfortunately they didn't have spouses with scratch off lottery winning tickets sufficient to provide splendid retirements.

Any employee that was around 30 or more years and didn't have a very comfortable retirement only has themselves to blame. Cactus bragged how long he was around. Just because he retired and barely scrapes by is his own fault.

Oh I'm just sure helping the neighbor kid with his part-time paper route and getting canned from FedEx provides Old Falcon Fart with the luxurious lifestyle he's so accustomed to.

Where did I say I'm barely scraping by?
Go find that post and provide us a link. Bet you don't know how either being the simpleton you are.
Old Falcon Fart's "retirement" was not the result of a self managed retirement portfolio. He simply threw his darts at the board and one or two of them just so happen to land at or close to the bulls eye of a mutual fund or ETF It was dumb luck, not portfolio self management. That along with his no self respect groveling to management is what are responsible for his "great" retirement.

C’mon @falcon back we’re waiting.
No comparison to those who have to manage their own portfolios. Requires much more work and potentially higher risks. There's a huge difference.... believe me.

And if you look back to the early 20th century, those auto workers had to literally fight hard to unionize. If they would have just "quit and work somewhere else to be happy" like Falcon says, these autoworkers today would be making $12-$15/hr. Look, I'm not a huge union guy, but I believe they are needed when a job sucks. FedEx needs a union. Rather than quit and leave with your tail between your legs, we deserve to organize. FedEx made promises they failed to keep with their 10 step pay program. The fact that FedEx now is using their "last mile optimization" that should blur the lines claiming FedEx is still an airline when they're using their Ground network to make Express deliveries.

Who cares. When my tooth hurts, I go the dentist. When I want to make money, I go see a Financial Advisor.

I just want to make friends!
Going public in 1978 is the reason for the change in 2003?
