How many licenses should there be, why and what privileges?

The agency could be abolished tomorrow and my income will not change one bit (unless "tomorrow" is the day that the COL increase on my pension annuity and Social Security kicks in, as it will tomorrow). The FCC has no connection with that, nor with the private investments that also provide for my retirement income. I didn't realize that you were no longer practicing your craft. The NPRM and R/O of 98 sure didn't impress. How many of those folks retired on a fat salary? If you think that retiring on 50% of a salary that is 50% (or more) less than what one could get in the private sector is "fat", I have a (Weeatstone) bridge that I can sell you "real cheaply". Consider that the newer FERS states very clearly that your Social Security IS your retirement. And I had been told all of my life that it was a SUPPLEMENT to a retirement. The OF's in Federal Service are getting a much better deal than that. Do not forget that a Federal retirement annuity (prension) is not a "gift" from the taxpayers. It is an annuity that is bought by the employee with after-tax money and such purchase is not optional. Writing a sensible NPRM appears to be optional. Does the FCC trot out that kind of crap to the boradcasters? As an employer you know that scenario very well. Hans is an employer? Of what sort? Ask him. Will do. |
