Amazon?

Boomers got stroked with the tale that they deserved whatever rich people gave them. Big companies made $billions while they took away your pension plans.

Hmmm. It is a permanent setting for us...
You want to enable the scheduled mode, not set the manual mode, which is a one day thing.

All the best,

Got it. Thanks. Still educable.

What does that mean?

It means they support the latest social righteous movement even if that movement is literally destroying the country.

Congress destroyed the company pension primarily through the advancement of the IRA in the 70s.

I don’t use anything but the free shipping, but it’s worth it to me. I frequently order from Amazon and often my orders are for cheap items where the shipping would cost more than the item. I order whatever I need that’s not available in local stores and order whenever needed. I love that about Prime. I just ordered 2 oil filters for my lawn mower for a cost of $14 total. Without Prime, the shipping would have probably cost $10.

Nobody "took away" my pension plan, nowhere I worked ever offered one. Other than government job, that perk went away with my parents' generation.
Other than a supermarket chain I worked at for a year or so while I was "between jobs", none of the companies I worked for in my entire career are still in business, so even if they did have a pension, it would be gone.

1st major company I worked for had a pension plan. It pales in comparison to the money I have accumulated in my 401k plans.

We had a pension plan and 401K. The coop board felt the need to phase it out so per new contract several years ago any new hires got an enhanced 401K.

I haven't had an increase in my take home for a 40hr week in 10 years. I have my 401k set to increase each year for around the same amount as my annual raise.

The only time I notice the raise is when I get overtime.
