I wish I could get a job that kept giving me perks after I’d left/been sacked

I’m sure there’s more nuance to it than that but fuck these cunts and their literally endless entitlements

    The US president’s pension apparently came about after Truman left office and fell into financial difficulty.

    According to that article, it seems pretty rare around the rest of the world.

    I guess it comes down to 1. What is it trying to achieve? and 2. Does it achieve it, or meaningfully move things towards that goal?

    And to be honest, I don’t think I’ve found any info to answer either of those questions 🤷
