Welcome to IWETHEY!

New "Related: Boeing to sell phone that can self-destruct"
(How that's "related", I'm not sure...)

You're surprised by this? The Boeing union folks were moved to 401ks a while ago. Why not the non-union folks too?

Almost nobody has a real "pension" any more. Even the feds have had a 401k component to the system since the mid-80s - http://en.wikipedia....Retirement_System

Cheers,
Scott.
New Not surprised.
Disappointed, but not surprised. 401K's are a joke. Drafted to help precisely two plutocrats avoid taxes and then used as a vehicle to reneg on a bargain made with workers everywhere (we'll make our money now off your sweat, pay you less, but you will be rewarded when you retire). Hell, the State of Nebraska had first-hand evidence of how bad 401k's were right out of the gate (see Frontline episode on that point). They're nothing more than YAN method of making sure enough of your money ends up in an investment banker's pocket.

This is a socio-economic system from hell.
